Luna’s an amazing and inspiring girl who’s been fighting cancer for a few years now. She’s my absolute biggest fan and always wanted to meet me.

Luna was in awe when she saw The Rock walk into the restaurant with her plate in his hand, and after she sheepishly said "hi", he called her up for a hug.
He told her: "You know what I need? Get in here! I can’t believe I’m finally meeting you!"
