Dwayne Johnson Remembers An Emotional Significance In Jelly Rolls Song Only, Says The Lyrics Rocked Me
Washington : Actor Dwayne Johnson has a very special bond with singer and rapper Jelly Roll, and in fact, his music helped Johnson overcome mental stress, reported People. In a post on his Instagram handle, Dwayne shared a video in which he can be seen hugging Roll and engaging in a friendly conversation. Johnson opened up about their years-long ties through Jelly's song 'Only' and their shared Nashville connection, reported People. "A brotherly hug almost 10 years in the making @jellyroll615," wrote Johnson, adding, "Several years ago (roughly 2017) I was going through a very hard thing at the time, I was struggling. My mental wellness turned into my mental hellness. Many of you know the drill, you put on "the face", show up to work, smile and get through it." The Rock, who was shooting for a film at the time, shared that although it wasn't the "healthiest thing to do," he was used to it. "Perhaps not the healthiest thing to do, but it's what I was used to doing at the time," he wrote. "Then a song came on through my headphones one morning on a random shuffle playlist. "Only" from Jelly Roll. The lyrics rocked me. Hard core," added The Mummy Returns actor. "What if the darkness inside of me has finally taken my soul?/What if the angels in heaven were sent to take me home?/Would they fight through the demons that I have in my life?/Lord, I'm believing eventually see the light," Jelly sings in the 2017 song. These words touched the soul of the ace star and he formed a connection with the rapper as he mentioned, "The words moved me so much that I reached out to Jelly. I said you don't know me and I don't know you, but this song of yours is helping me through some stuff I'm dealing with. I just called to say thank you brother. Our bond was born." Johnson had a gift for Jelly when they finally met, an old postcard of the Alamo Plaza motel in South Nashville, as per the outlet. "The gift I gave Jelly when we finally met, is insignificant to the world, but something I just knew would mean a lot to him and he'd appreciate. It's an old, and cheap postcard of a little motel called the Alamo Plaza in south Nashville." "This is real old-school Nashville history," Jelly said in the Instagram video, showing off the postcard signed by the actor. "When I was 15yrs I was forced (family was evicted) to leave Hawaii and make it to Nashville to live with my dad. That didn't work out so I wound up living with a stranger in this little spot on Murfreesboro Road that has since been torn down and no longer there," Johnson wrote, explaining his connection. The Rock also talked about Wrestling manager Downtown Bruno and said that he is also one of his most "special friends". "Downtown Bruno was that stranger's name and to this day, he's one of my best and most special friends. Just like Jelly. A very special friend. Every once in a while we all get sliced up by life, but it's amazing to see what kind of blessings and people that God and the universe will put in our lives to help us heal through our pain." Johnson also gave Craig Morgan, whom Jelly mentioned during their conversation that The Rock was listening to on his drive over, a shout-out, reported People. "And a big SURREAL shout out to our boy @craigmorgan who I was just listening to in my truck as I pulled up to meet Jelly. How's THAT for the universe conspiring for us!!...Love you brother and cheers to all our plaques coming down," the post concluded. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwayne Johnson (@therock) Jelly is currently wrapping up the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone before embarking on solo dates later this summer. Meanwhile, Johnson's next big movie, 'The Smashing Machine,' is set to release in October, according to People.

14 Scenes That Honestly Kinda Ruined An Entire Movie
Recently, u/jessym1m1 asked r/moviecritic, "What scenes ruined the whole movie for you?" And we thought we'd share some of the best responses: 1. " Twilight is cheesy from beginning to end, but the scene with them playing baseball had me dying laughing." Summit Entertainment 2. "Blofeld being Bond's foster brother in Spectre. Other than that I quite liked the film (I know I'm in the minority)." 3. "I wouldn't say it ruined the whole movie for me but in Silence of the Lambs, when Starling is searching the first victim's room, she finds some semi dirty pictures in the girl's jewel box. She just leaves them out for the girl's poor grieving father to find. She could have at least put them back where she found them." 4. "Talia al Ghul's death scene in The Dark Knight Rises." Warner Bros. Pictures – gordonwiththecrowbar "I literally laughed out loud at how absurdly bad her death scene was." – rtwise 5. " The Mummy Returns: the reveal of the scorpion kings horrible CGI with the rocks signature eyebrow raise lmao. I can't take it seriously." Universal Pictures 6. " Gladiator 2 when the sharks were in the Colosseum. I'm all for a cheesy sequel (I love every Jurassic Park /World), but that took the stupid cake for me." Paramount Pictures 7. "The two goofballs in Prometheus playing around with the little aliens things." 20th Century Studios 8. "In one of the Hobbit films, Legolas' runs upwards on falling bricks as though they were stairs and I hate it. I know Legolas defies physics at other times but it just seems so unnecessary." 9. "Indiana Jones, nuclear bomb, refrigerator. I don't need to say more." 10. " Spider-Man 3. When Toby Maguire goes to the jazz club I was immediately done. Not a great movie but that was when you realise what pile of crap it is." Sony Pictures Releasing 11. "Bond para-surfing down a huge wave in Die Another Day. Abysmal CGI, even for the period." 20th Century Fox 12. "Thor getting a train direct from Charing Cross to Greenwich. Utter bullshit, ruined the film for me." 13. Star Wars: The Last Jedi – That scene, the Mary Leia Poppins scene! Gave up on any redeeming qualities of the sequel trilogy, of which there are none." 14. "The final scene of Wonder Woman absolutely ruined the whole thing for me. Totally on board until that."
