'This one felt good': Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's mum weeps after he gifts her house for Christmas

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has given his mother a Christmas gift of a lifetime: buying her her own home. 

The action star took to Instagram to share the news posting a heartwarming video of his mother's, Ata's, reaction. 

"This one felt good. Surprise! Bought my mom a new home for Christmas," he wrote.

The Rock continued by explaining how he remembers as a child moving from one small apartment to another as his parents tried to make ends meet. 

"The first home my parents ever lived in was the one I bought for them in 1999," he wrote.

"They divorced about 5yrs later and as with life, stuff happens and things got a little complicated. Since then I always made sure my mom and dad have everything they'll ever need."

He told his mother to treat the gift like Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket, as she is allowed to choose any home she wants. 

"I always say, if you got a good mama, then you gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being," Johnson wrote.

"And somehow, somewhere along the line I became one lucky SOB to be able to make stuff like this happen.

"Merry Christmas Ma and WOOOHOOO enjoy your new home. Dwanta."

And if you thought he had spread enough Christmas joy this year, just wait - there's more.

The Rock is currently filming the Fast and Furious spin-off Hobbs and Shaw, but he took some time off from filming to meet Make-A-Wish Foundation children, a foundation that grants seriously ill children 'wishes'. 

The kids played video games with the actor, as well as going for a ride in some of the on-set vehicles. 

"To spend time with P.J. and Cameron and little Lucy, just to see them smile and have a great time and to bring a little bit of joy in an otherwise pretty challenging time is just very, very special," Johnson says.

The kids even got to meet his co-star Jason Statham while on-set.
