A video of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's mother crying tears of joy after he surprised her with a brand new house has gone viral.

"Love you mom and surprise!" wrote Johnson in the moving clip's caption.

Johnson's mother is Mataniufeagaimaleata Fitisemanu "Ata" Maivia Johnson. Born in Hawaii of Samoan descent, Ata Johnson is part of the Anoa'i family Samoan wrestling dynasty that includes her father, Peter Maivia, Rosey, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Umaga, WWE Hall of Famer Yokozuna, Roman Reigns, Haku, The Usos, and WWE Hall of Fame brothers Afa and Sika Anoa'i, the Wild Samoans.

The heartwarming clip was synced with the popular and heartwarming ukulele rendition of "Over the Rainbow," by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, to really tug at the heartstrings.

Johnson wrote:

"When I was a little boy, I hated when my mom would cry ~ these days, I’ll happily take her tears of joy."

And now we're all hankering for a tissue.

The clip followed the 73-year-old walking through her new home, appearing to be beside herself and filled with immense joy.

Johnson explained he and his design team took eight weeks to get the new home ready "where she could walk thru her front door for the very first time and everything she saw was brand new and a total surprise."

He continued:

"I’ve been lucky enough to have bought her a few homes over the years, but this one is special as she’s told me over and over these past few years, 'After a lifetime of traveling, I want this home to be my last. Thats my dream.'”

Followers feeling all the feels shared their thoughts.

Johnson finished his caption by sharing a touching bit of wisdom.

"I always say, if you got a good mom then you got a shot at becoming a good, caring human being."
"Let’s all give our mamas a big grateful squeeze this weekend and make ‘em happy."

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
