— -- Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson has an Easter story to top all others.

The wrestling icon and actor Sunday posted a smiling picture with a fan and shared how the random meeting took place.

"Cool story to share on Easter… After my workout I'm driving in my pickup and notice these kids in the rearview mirror screaming and running after my truck. Thought to myself, "Should I stop or keep driving?". I stopped," he wrote.

Johnson, 42, said he jumped out of his truck and "this kid runs up to me, hugs the hell outta me and says it’s been his life's dream to meet me and tell me how much I’ve inspired him to fight cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and hard core chemo and stem cell transplant treatments. He was a little teary eyed and said for months and months all he's wanted to do was find me and say this face to face. I told him what it meant to me to hear this story."

But that wasn't the end. The Rock, 42, took pictures with the brave survivor and as the "Furious 7" star drove off, something took over inside him.

"As I'm driving I start shaking my head (and tearing up) at how fragile life is and how amazing and cool the universe was to make this meeting between myself and this special kid Nick Miller come true. Let's always take a moment to count our blessings … cause there's always something to be grateful for. Happy Easter y'all - DJ," he closed the passage.

Johnson also posted another picture Sunday at "DISNEY STUDIOS signing contracts to play male lead in their next big classic animated musical - MOANA."

Things just keep getting better for "the Rock."
