Dwayne Johnson was once too broke to even afford a turkey: 'We were praying someone would invite us over for Thanksgiving'
Even though the actor wasn't home, he made sure he celebrated the holiday in the traditional way and posted a picture of the huge turkey on Instagram
He's one hell of an entertainer, but he is also deeply rooted and humble at heart. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson might be earning all the big bucks right now, but that wasn't always the case. And the 46-year-old ruminated about the fact in a Friday Instagram post.
"Exactly 27 years ago on Thanksgiving, while living in Tampa, Fl we were so p*** broke, that we couldn’t even afford to buy a turkey," recalled the 'Fast and Furious 7' star from the UK.
Even though the actor wasn't home, he made sure he celebrated the holiday in the traditional way and posted a picture of the huge turkey on Instagram.
