Dwayne Johnson made a 3-year-old boy’s day by sending a video of him singing a song from Moana.
It happened to by the little boy’s favorite film.
The voice actor for character Maui in the Disney movie, The Rock shared the video on Instagram with the caption: “This request came across my desk and punched me in the gut a bit.
“There’s a little 3-year-old boy out there named Hyrum. Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia which is complicated by Down Syndrome. In the fight of his life right now and doing his best to stay strong – by watching MOANA up to 10xs a day because the character he loves, MAUI makes him feel strong.

“According to Hyrum’s mama, his most important thing to say now is, I STRONG. Yes you are big man. Yes you are. Hyrum, I know I’m a complete stranger to you – who sounds a lot like your hero, MAUI (only with a very large head), but myself along with millions of other strangers who will watch this video are sending you so much love, strength and mana your way.
“I STRONG. Love, the Rock aka the dude who sounds a lot like Maui.”
Ryan Reynolds also commented on the post, writing: “This is the good work, D.”
Hyrum’s mother wrote a touching response to The Rock’s video, which the actor also shared. “Update from the video I posted. Look at this lil’ boy, Hyrum’s face. That’s some joy real right there. Thank you to the person who wrote this beautiful note.
“You’re absolutely right – joy and hope cost nothing and yet, is the most powerful gift we can give. That’s the real magic to life.”
Hyrum’s mother is just ‘blown away’ by the support from the actor and his fans, saying it has helped her son in what is the ‘fight of his life.’
“He’s watched Moana over and over. It’s what he does on his hardest days. He watched the video from Dwayne again… while watching Moana,” she wrote.
“I love when he smiles. Points to his chest and repeats his name. It reminds me that cancer is not taking our boy, just his energy.”
