Actor and former WWE superstar Dwayne Johnson, alias The Rock, has finally cleared his guilty conscience.
Dwayne Jonhson's atonement
The Jumanji actor posted a video on his Instagram page documenting his recent visit to a store in Hawaii where he disclosed he used to shoplift as a teenager.
“We were evicted from Hawaii in ’87, and after all these years...I finally got back home to right this wrong. I finally exorcised this chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades,” he said.

Johnson said he used to steal a king-size Snickers bar from the store every day when he was 14.
“The same clerk was there every day and always just turned her head and never busted me,” he shared.
In the video, the star bought every Snickers bar in the shop and paid for the purchases of stunned customers, too.
“We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces,” he added.
