Dwanye ‘The Rock’ Johnson has a new number one fan… and it’s Steven Spielberg.
It appears that the movie legend dropped a somewhat gushing letter over to the WWE star turned action movie don, expressing his deep respect.

And in an interview with Esquire, he told how much the moment meant to him.
“It took me back to being just like a kid. I was so blown away,” he said.
But what did it say in the note?
“Been enjoying your movies over the years,” wrote Spielberg.
“Very entertaining. I feel like I’ve really gotten to know you over the years, most recently after watching you host 'Saturday Night Live’. Great job.
“You continue to go for it. Proud of your work and look forward to meeting you. Steven Spielberg.”
Of course Dwayne was tickled pink with the note, posting a picture of himself reading it on his Instagram page.
He wrote: “Grinnin’ now like a big ass kid… When I was 8yrs old I sat front row to see a sold out INDIANA JONES in its opening weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“I walked out of that theater excited and wanted to be 'Indy’… cool, funny, charming with the ladies and kickin’ ass w/ a smile.
“But at 8yrs old I was also perfectly content playing w/ my Star Wars figures and sneaking off listening to Richard Pryor concerts. Throughout the years I’ve credited this man and his movies as being my greatest inspiration in becoming an actor and wanting to always make “his kind” of movies - entertaining, quality and above all else.. heart.
“Just receiving this personal letter from him and its not only made me incredibly humbled and grateful, but it’s also brought me back to being that 8yr old boy again who not only loves movies, but I now get to make the movies I love and enjoy the impact they have on others.
“THANK YOU STEVEN SPIELBERG for these inspiring and motivating words in your letter and cheers to making sure I’m always listening to that little voice in my gut. #CoolestGiftEver #BigAss8yrOldKid #SpielbergInspired.”
Get a room, you two.
