According to his Instagram, Dwayne Johnson recently did a wonderful thing. 'The Rock' surprised a UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo has been living out of a gym. This is because he spent his prize money on getting water for his village in Zimbabwe. Dwayne heard his story and went to his gym to tell him how proud he was of him. Dwayne drove Themba to a house and revealed that he had bought it for him and his family.

Here's how it sounded.

Dwayne: "Well, you know, I gotta tell you man, your story moved me. When I found out that you had $7 in your bank account, I know what that's like. I was here in Miami when I had $7. But then also, you know, you win your second fight, and you sell your fight kit. You buy a water well for your village in Zimbabwe, so your people can have clean water. Because you could have taken that money and you could have put it down on a car, on an apartment. But you didn't, you took care of your people, and that just says exactly who you are. And that's why I flew all the way in man just to look you in the eye brother than tell you, I got your back."

Then he brought him to his new home.

Themba: "It's my wife Emily! Oh, my God!"

Dwayne: "So hey. I wanted to bring you here. Ah so Themba, um, I don't, I don't know anybody who lives here. I wanted to come here. I wanted to bring you here. I wanted to look you in the eye and I wanted to tell you, welcome home."

Themba: "Oh, my God! Thank you!"

Check out the clip with the Rock surprising Themba. Just make sure you have some tissues nearby. A very kind thing to do. Thanks, Rock.

The Sexiest Men Alive From The Last 20 Years

Take a stroll through the last 20 years of People's Sexiest Men Alive. This year, the award went to Grey's Anatomy's neurosurgeon Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd. The long-awaited title is something we look forward to every year, and this year's choice has been worth the wait. The actor has never been given the title before, and with nearly 20 years of being television eye candy, the actor told the publication when he first heard the news, “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right?” As for how his kids will respond, the Maine native insists they’re just going to make fun of him.

Humble Beginnings

Growing up in Maine, he recalled always having to be moving, so he took up a lot of sports like baseball, soccer, skiing, cycling." The Ferrari actor had dyslexia, so he didn't love school, and described himself as a "late bloomer." In his youth, Dempsey joined a vaudeville troupe and rode a unicycle while juggling.

Now, the key is maturity and wisdom for the Can't Buy Me Love alum. "You go through cycles of life, so you understand there are going to be high and low moments and what are the most important things. Everything else is a gift.” Despite his heartthrob status over the years, “I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” he says of his new title.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and People magazine has their own taste. See the Sexiest Men Alive from the last 20 years below:
