Dwayne Johnson, Elizabeth Warren exchange praise
Apparently, Elizabeth Warren is a big fan of "Ballers."

Johnson, who married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, in Hawaii earlier this month, was obviously pumped to have Warren as one of his devoted fans.
\"Mahalo, my ballin' friend (thanks Bruce too) It's been a helluva run and I'm grateful to the people,\" he wrote. \"Best of luck and thank you Senator for all your hard work on behalf of our country.\"

It's been a helluva run and I'm grateful to the people. Thanks for the 🏀 and ⛓, I mean happy marriage well wishes 😉
Best of luck and thank you Senator for all your hard work on behalf of our country.
Enjoy @BallersHBO tonight 👊🏾 https://t.co/uBjuk6iRTS
One fan wrote, \"Omg yes. @ewarren & @TheRock!! The friendship we didn't know we needed!!\"

Warren may have also made a cameo -- of sorts -- in the premiere.
\"First scene in the new season of Ballers and the rock is reading @ewarren's book,\" journalist Geet Jeswani pointed out on Twitter.

This isn't the first time Warren has shown love for the show or that the duo have bonded on Twitter.
Last year, Johnson offered her a \"big Rock sized hug\" after she said how much she loved the series.
I appreciate the love Senator Warren. Enjoy our new season tonight and you have a big Rock sized hug coming when I see ya 👊🏾🙏🏾❤️ @BallersHBO https://t.co/C3sS9RtL4Y

Warren has also called the actor her \"not-so-secret crush.\"
