Dwayne Johnson returns to the shop where he stole snacks as a kid and buys them all (paying for the shopping to other customers) – Corriere.it

For about a year when he was a kid, Dwayne Johnson stole a Snickers candy bar every day from a Hawaii store because he didn’t have the money to buy it (it was his pre-workout meal at the gym). And now that money is no longer an issue, he has finally decided to right the wrong. The actor then returned to the same 7Eleven of his adolescence and, under the astonished eyes of the cashier, he raided all the Snickers bars that were on the shelf and before settling the bill (298 dollars, just under 289 euros ), also added the expenses of the other customers who were in the shop at the time (it was the least I could do, considering all the stuff I stole from here), and then left the bags of bars at the cashier, for those who didn’t they will be able to afford to pay them.

The expedition of redemption from the mistakes of the past was shared by The Rock himself in a funny video on Instagram. I have finally exorcised this damned chocolate demon that has been tormenting me for decades – wrote the Hollywood star in the long post that accompanies the clip -. We were evicted from our home in Hawaii in 1987 and after all these years, I’ve come back to right a wrong. I was broke, and for nearly a year when I was 14, I stole a giant Snickers bar at 7Eleven every day on my way to the gym. Every day there was the same saleswoman who always turned her head away and never caught me.

According to Johnson, the memory of this bad deed never left him, to the point that every time he returned to Hawaii and passed by a 7Eleven, he always felt at fault and knew that sooner or later he would have to enter the store and clear out the candy bar shelf, but this time in the right way. That is, by paying them. Which he did in fact, then offering the shopping to all those present in the store. We can’t change the past nor the stupid things we might have done – concluded the actor in his social confession – but from time to time we can add a small note of redemption to that situation and probably put a big smile on one’s face. unknown.
