Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: The next Hollywood A-lister to visit Saudi Arabia?
According to E! Online, Aileen Pizzaro and her daughter Aryana were hit by another vehicle that was coming from the wrong direction. The two passed away on August 23, after which Aileen's son Angelo Pizzaro took to Twitter and got a hold of Dwayne.
To mourn the loss of his mother - who was a huge fan of The Rock - and sister, Angelo wrote, "My beautiful mom who passed away loved The Rock. I'm trying to get him to do even a video saying her name for the funeral. It would mean the world to me if you could retweet my post for him to see. Thank you."
Angelo's tweet received about 60,000 retweets and eventually caught the former wrestler's attention. In a video, Dwayne said that he was flooded with messages about the mother and daughter, and wanting to send his prayers to the family and those affected.
He replied to Angelo, "I'm sending love, light and strength your way from my family. I also want to thank you for reaching out to me. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and mom and the tragic loss that your family is going through."
The Rampage star concluded the video on an emotional note and said, "If your mom can see me now, which I'm sure she can, I just want to thank her for all the love and being such a big fan."
Angelo was touched by Dwayne's kind words and quickly responded. "Thank you so much sir. I hope everyone knows how amazing you are. I can't stop smiling, knowing that my mom's smiling right now. Thank you and to all the people who viewed my post."
Dwayne later replied stating that it was the least he could do and asked Angelo to stay strong.
