This week, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joked that he had finally “exorcised this damn chocolate demon” after returning to the Hawaii 7-Eleven – where he claimed he used to steal a Snickers “every day” when he was 14 – and purchasing all of the nougat bars.
The “Black Adam” actor explained in an Instagram post that his family was “broke as hell” when he was living on the island, and for nearly a year when he was 14 years old, he stole a Snickers bar from the store as his pre-workout snack.
The actor and former wrestler known as “The Rock” stated that his family was “evicted from Hawaii” in 1987 and that he had longed to return for decades to “right this wrong.”
In an Instagram video, the 50-year-old instructed a clerk to ring up all of the store’s Snickers, leave them on the counter, and give them to any customers who appear to be attempting to steal one.
Additionally, he tipped the clerk who was responsible for counting the dozens of bars.
In addition, he paid for all of the customers’ groceries while in the 7-Eleven, totaling $298 in expenses.
Johnson stated that every time he went to Hawaii and stopped by the 7-Eleven, he “always knew” he “ought to go in and clear up every Snickers bar they had — the correct way.”
“As an added bonus, it was a lot of fun to serve everyone who entered 7-11 while I was there. “It was the least I could do considering how much I used to steal from here,” he continued.
Johnson continued: “We can’t alter the past and some of the stupid things we may have done, but sometimes we can add a little redeeming grace note to that scenario — and maybe put a big grin on the faces of some strangers.”
