Starting out as a professional wrestler, Dwayne Johnson, who once went by The Rock, used his time in the ring to shape a career in Hollywood. Although still a part of professional wrestling, Johnson also landed roles in films like The Mummy Returns, Jungle Cruise, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Moana, and the Fast and Furious franchise. When combining all his films, Johnson helped bring in over $12.5 billion worldwide. Considered a superstar in Hollywood, Johnson recently shared the heartbreaking news that his French bulldog, Hobbs, passed away. And when coping with the loss, the actor turned to George Strait for a little help.
Knowing how to find the perfect words, Strait seemed like the right singer to turn to when dealing with loss. For fans of Johnson, they have spent a great deal of time watching the actor showcase his love for Hobbs. Always willing to share a video or picture on Instagram, Johnson posted a collage of pictures of the pup, writing, “I’ve been numb over this loss, but we’re so grateful for every ounce of pure love he gave our entire family and we’re so grateful he didn’t suffer long as he quietly and bravely left in the night. Lately, there’s been a lot that’s too big to talk about. Lonesome, lonely, heard it’s all the same.”
