Thats so nice…he acknowledged her and made her feel good.
Thank you to Rock for taking the time and having the compassion to make a difference in this young lady’s life!! She will remember it all her life!!
A year after I graduated from high school I came home to visit my parents and our next door neighbors came over I had known them for years and grew up with their beautiful daughter who was a year younger than me they said she didn’t get asked to her prom because all the guys thought she had a date or were afraid to ask her I was a sports star when I was in high school and I got the hint from her parents and asked her if I could go with her and be her date she said yes her mom had already bought her a dress or I think she borrowed one from someone she knew I had a hard time finding a tux I’m 6’5” and I think I weighed 230 at the time I don’t know how they did it but but between our parents they found a tux for me to wear her name was Sue Evans I’m 66 now and cherish that memory
Punctuation is a wonderful thing.
Thank you for doing that for her ❤️❤️
What a nice gesture, I wasn’t asked to my prom since I’m 6 feet tall, now I’m 70 and love being tall.
What a wonderful young man you were! God bless & keep you!❤
@@Lava1964 Beaut story, unnecessary comment
Like so many people here, I was so impressed that the Rock took time to call Katie, much more heartwarming, renting out the theatre for her friends. God be with them both!
I was also rejected after being accepted. It hurts for a while. Then it fads away. Bravo Dwayne.
I never was asked, I’m way too tall, 6 feet and no guy would want to dance with a girl taller than them.
I was never asked either, so I just spent the evening with my horses giving them lots of fuss and attention!
@@u4riahsc I would have asked. I've always liked tall women and dated some during my younger years.
@@u4riahsc I would have asked as I was tall myself at 6'2", but a bean pole.
The Rock is not just cool, he is very smart too. A nice guy who is a great role model for all of us.
My prom experience was unusual in that I found out that a female classmate with whom I had been at serious loggerheads in campus politics had not been invited even though she was a high profile person on campus. I had just broken up with someone, so I was myself without a date. So I decided to ask her to the prom and, lo and behold, I had suddenly made fast friends out of a former political enemy. Wow. Haven’t seen her for over 50 years, but I do remember her smile when I picked her up for the prom that night!
SWEET❣️
I was rejected 1 week before prom. My best male friend stepped in and took me. The look on the face of the boy who rejected me was priceless. I partied hard all night right in his face😊
@@priscilladawson5313 Great outcome, great story!
My sister-in-law went to a fundraiser years ago and was seated next to the rock and she danced all night with him. She said he was quite the gentleman.
🥰
That's how I've always pictured him. Definitely my celebrity crush and my agreed upon free pass 😂
So happy for Katie. I am 68 years old. I wasn’t popular in high school - understatement. I worked my way through high school at a restaurant directly across from our school. We had a large family and working was my way of getting some of the things I wanted. My parents did what they could but instilled within us a strong work ethic which has helped me to this day. No one asked me to the prom and in my mind you didn’t go by yourself - it was a different era. I worked the evening of the prom and watched everyone go into the prom while I worked. My life is good but this has been a great regret of my life.
I know how you feel.
Be true to yourself. Believe in yourself. All you can do is take a chance. Way to go young lady.
This video made me cry! What a girl! What a man! I was a big fan of his dad...Rocky Johnson...who was a wrestler back in the day. Go for the gold wen setting your goals, Katie!
Rock - you are a famous man with a big heart. Few would take the time like you did. Congrats. I wish the rest of Hollywierd would be more like you. ❤
Never went to my prom. Didn’t get asked.i was a wall flower in high school and not part of the popular crowd. Good for this young lady!
Same here because I was 6 feet tall.
I, as a junior, took a wallflower to her senior prom.😉
I wasn't allowed to go to prom. Because I was homeschooled from 2nd grade til 6th (I have epilepsy and was losing vision with each seizure), I had to be tested and placed in the appropriate grade. I was asked not to go to homecoming or prom because it was "not visibly appropriate " for a 14 year old to be participating, even though I was a senior and both my older brothers were OK to go with me (eldest was 18, other 16, and two of us were graduating).
Dwayne, you definitely do rock!
It’s wonderful what you did making Katie’s life that much happier!
Thank you! 😊from us all!
You’re a fine and very much respected man! God bless you 😊❤
Awesome young lady don't stop now reach for the stars
Yes, good advice. Because you couldn't get one of the hot guys from the football team, hold out for a movie star. Would you give the same advice to a boy from that school who said that because he couldn't get the cheerleader that he should hold out for a supermodel?
Way to go Katie,.. very happy for you,.. you have courage and determination and this will take you far in life!
The Rock is awesome for doing this for this young lady. Way to go Katie.
The Rock School announcement was some days after he was asked to go to the prom with her. The Rock had his agent find a local theater and rent it out first after talking with the HS Principal about his plan - along with sending a copy of the movie to the theater so the theater could show it for the special showing. That took a few days. The announcement was pre-recorded and sent to the Principal via email so he could play it on the school announcement system. The principal let all the teachers know about it up front that morning as well so they could provide instructions to the students in their classes. It was not a phone call at the time.
She did become the most popular young lady at school for about a week or so; and became well known for the rest of her senior year.
thanks for the facts
Yup, facts hurt this video because this video describing what happened is NONSENSE. What a LAME channel.
well he still did it for her so thats still awesome i figured he rented a theater considering the free popcorn and drinks thing, cause i doubt a regular theater would do that
@@user-pp4ve6qo1b If you search for it you will find a video of her and her class hearing the announcement live... Total surprise to Katie.
A local news station also did a followup story at the movie theater which was packed with students.
@@iloveowls90 Yes he did it. Actually, all local theaters will do special screenings of any available movie if someone is willing to pay for it (and toss in popcorn, candy, and drinks if someone will pay for that as well). In this case it took the Rock's personal involvement because the movie had not yet been released in the theaters which heightened how special this was (a special pre-release screening).
When I was in High School (1970's) the Biology teacher saw The Hellstrom Chronicle movie when visiting Chicago over the holidays that so impressed him that he arranged for the local theater to show it during the day to all biology and other science students in the school (The school rented the theater and paid the movie rental cost - and bussed us to and from the theater). No popcorn or drinks though. The Hellstrom Chronicle won the 1972 Academy Award (Oscar) for best documentary which helped convince the School Board to fund the movie and interrupt normal classes.
The movie theater ran the movie for over a week in the evenings as the kids dragged their parents and older/younger siblings to the movie. Normal weeknights were fairly slow for the movie theater - not that week.
The owner of the movie theater was extremely cooperative and happy with the results.
There was a theater in Madison WI when I was in college that always rented and ran older or foreign movies that who's normal commercial distribution ended years (if not decades) prior to then. The Movie Companies will gladly rent out the film or now the digital disk of any of there past movies.
What a great story , and kudos to both, but especially the Rock for responding as he did.
Ask Maui Island about the rock!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen and heard and it takes a lot of courage to do that and actually got a response from the man himself that was beautiful
DWAYNE, YOU R AMAZING MAKING HER FEEL SO SPECIAL, THANK YOU
i got turned down for my prom in 1975 and never went to my prom...i had no rock in my life or social media so happy for her
Way to go Katie!! Big thank you to the Rock!!
Good for you, Katie; and Rock... YOU ROCK!
I love the Rock for his humility.
That was so kind of him. Congratulations Katie❤❤❤❤❤
Good job Katie God be with you
This made me cry happy tears. And I never cry! Katy that is so awesome!! Dwayne is such a great guy!!! What a heartwarming story!! ❤❤❤
Congratulations, Katie, well holding your ground that’s awesome!
This is why I love the Rock. He.is.a giant sweetheart.
Great story!
GREAT STORY, GLAD SHE HAD FUN, NICE OF HIM TO HAVE DONE THAT. YOU ROCK, ROCK
You go Katie! I hope you went to your prom and had a good time. ❤
Born of Hawaiian roots, Rock will do everything to help that girl. Aloha spirit prevails! Hes a celeb but, no ego trips the same as Keanu Reeves who was raised in Hawaii for a while. Good men! Congrats girl for having your wish forfilled! Aloha
why do i always forget that lol
What a kind man. Nice Katie, well done!!!
WoW this brought tears to my eyes. Dwayne, so special of you. Memories she'll have forever 😊
So beautiful, what a wonderful day for her to remember forever🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 6:59
Beautiful!
So so glad I clicked amazing video God blessed
Great story.
Well done Katy 😊😊😊😊
Use the knowledge properly, you now know what guys go through all their lives.
Sick system where those poor girls have to beg for an escort for one brief event. A shame the girls can't bravely go alone. Lovely response from the celeb who showed huge empathy for Katie's situation. Wonder if the boys attending a prom have the same difficulties and heartaches?
Good to see you have balls rock old mate Aussie pete 👍
Magnificent!
Way to go Katie……you are special and never let anyone tell you otherwise
What an awesome story! You're a hero in my book, Katie!
I respect him more and more.
What a fantastic man, to take the time for a lovely girl, Katie best wishes lovely, Rock on!!
I know the feeling she felt. Good for her brave ❤
Shout out to The Rock for making Katie feel special.
That was truly awesome.
Oh this is awesome. And already knew that DwayneJohnson would reply. Thanks so much!!!
What an awesome story! Katie, you reached out to someone you idealized & The Rock stepped up and showed you respect!
Kuddos to you both❤️. Just shows me more, when you have passion for something in life! It can happen 🥳
Hope you enjoyed the whole experience! One To Remember!!!
Katie you got the best shout out ever the rock totally smashed it.dwayne Johnson he's a total good guy made Katie's day.good on you girl .❤❤
Too bad those students couldn't have treated her like a human being before they heard the rock speak. Bet they all showed up at the movie! Would they have treated her differently had she not heard from the rock?
How did they not treat her like a human being? Because one of the football players already had a date and wouldn't dump her for Katie, that's not treating her like a human being? I didn't really see anything in the video that showed her classmates were mean to her before hearing from the Rock. And my question is, because she couldn't get a star on the football team, was there no other guys in her school she could have asked? How about all the boys who didn't go to prom because they couldn't get a date? Girl can't get date because the guy she wanted was on the football team and he was already taken? Tragedy. Boy can't get a date because all the girls are holding out for a star on the football team, who cares?
Bravo to The Rock for his kindness towards that sweet girl. Class man.
That is awesome Katie...I'm even proud of you....Dwayne is one my favorite actors too...If I was as brave and amazing and confident as you I would asked my favorite actor Norman Reedus
She’s adorable. She’s gonna be alright
I loved this ❤❤
Awesome 👏
That was very nice of Rock! Well done!
Katie, you ROCK!👍🏽🤟🏽🤘🏽
Wow, that’s a great move by the ROCK.
You don’t “have” to go
What a great man he is Rock you are such a sweet man 💜💜
I was never so proud of my daughter as she went alone and enjoyed her self.
This must have been a few years ago. I wonder how this impacted Katie? Sometimes, one remarkable event changes everything.
What a fantastic thing he did for her.. he was right, don’t worry about a date, go to the prom. ❤❤
That's soo Cool!! 👍👍😊
Texas USA 🇺🇸 This is so cool. Thank you Katy for taking a chance asking Dwayne to the prom. Excellent video. Thank you Dwayne for caring & calling Katy at school & for giving her & her friends a day & a night to remember. 😊😊😊
Love that she dressed up like one of Dwayne Johnson's old photos, fanny pack, dark blue jeans, black turtleneck, gold chain, etcetera. How sweet!
This was a sweet story. 😊
Thank you Rock for making a big Difference in this lady,s life She will always and forever remember this day all her life you are an Awesome person Rock
THIS YOUNG LADY IS BEAUTIFUL, SHE DESERVES SOMEBODY THAT IS WORTY OF HER, SHE'S A JEWEL. THOSE BOYS APPARENTLY DON'T DESERVE HER.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
😊Nobody would go to prom with me. Every girl I asked laughed in my face one even told me that my breath stunk. I never got over it. I've been dogging chicken heads ever since.
I’m sorry people were so horrible to you.
@witteney3334. Anything that doesn't break you only MAKES you
STRONGER !!!
Thank you for having a heart ❤❤❤
@@witteney3334 thank you ♥️♥️♥️
You go girl! I admire your courage. you are going to do great things in life 🎉❤🎉
you go Katie!!!
That was awesome. made my day😊
Oh, so now she knows how it is for males all of the time
Fantastic story.,
That's epic. Dwayne's a good egg. 😊❤
Way to go! Awesome 👏👏👍💕
I know my friend's son a very good and helpful kid doesn't get much attention and he wants to miss the prom as girls just don't think he is good enough! We all tell him he rocks and it doesn't matter. He rocks anyways with his kindness
That was amazing The Rock done that for Katie and her friends. He seems like amazing human being. Most celebs could careless about their fans
Priceless ❤❤
Well that’s why they call you “The Rock” because you Rock!!!!💕💕
I was too poor to do the prom or senior pics
ALWAYS Be Brave! TRUST
Katie you rock!
Tears in my eyes!!
That is awesome
I remember prom- and the girl I asks out, though she said “yes”:
I was more of a joke and had few friends, I was a dunce and a target of a few bullies:
I told my sister about the date, and she told me that the girl and a few other girls were intending to embarrass me… again I was a joke, but (then), social media did not exist (1970’s): cable didn’t exist in our area.
Nonetheless, I had and still have my personal goals which keep my life and mind occupied… but one day I believe something will happen that will change my life for the better.
Imagine a world where women gave a single shred about the level of rejection the average male deals with in his life.
Imagine a world where people like YOU, didn't feel the need to try to rain on EVERYBODY ELSE'S PARADE! 😒
I care. I really do. It goes both ways, too!
Rock- you are awesome!
I never went to mine, and never went to reunions!
That is so cool ❤
Very sweet 😊
What a pretty girl and how great is The Rock, love this 🤩🤩
Maybe people would have better lives if they stepped away from the smartphone and so-called "social-media".
You go first
Never had a phone, never been on "social media".
@@veiledzorba what do you think this is?
A video hosting site.
@@veiledzorbait’s still social media.
Very sweet
