Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, has proven once again that he really is the People’s choice. He is known by many, especially his fans for his generosity and involvement in Philanthropy. Today, his gift is what he has been awarded.
Dwayne Johnson Says He Is Not The Original People’s Champion
The Rock was awarded the People’s Champion Award at the 2021 People’s Choice Award. This award was presented to him by his friend, Jeff Bezos, which he accepted and then did something not so surprising because it’s The Rock. Upon receiving this award, he turns to the audience and informed them that he does not agree to being the Original People’s champion.

Dwayne had previously given himself the title of People’s Champion but he later asked the O.G. Champion’s wife for permission to do so, which she responded, “He told me to tell you, you are the people’s champion, you have earned it, you take that title.”.

Dwayne explains that he has realized what it really means to be the People’s Champion. He said, “The last time I saw Mohammed, we were at a Make-A-Wish event and we were both granting wishes, His last words to me were, ‘You keep rumbling.’ He then proceeded to invite the People’s Choice Award Make A Wish recipient for 2021, Shushana to the stage.
“Being here tonight with us and with you guys, this is her wish, she has no idea what I’m doing. This is a total surprise. I met her earlier and I told her how proud I was of her story.
