We all know that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson spent a few years of his young life in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania right before he left to play football at The University of Miami and then exploded in fame with WWE and movie stardom.

Some people praise him as a prodigal son, while others say he wasn’t here long enough for even him to recall his time here in interviews.

No matter your opinion, his recalling of his coach at Freedom High School on Oprah’s Master Class is pretty damn awesome.

One afternoon, Dwayne says he decided to use the teachers’ lounge bathroom at his new school, Freedom High School, because the boys’ bathroom smelled. “A teacher comes in. His name is Jody Cwik. Tough guy. He says, ‘Hey, you can’t be in here.’ I kind of pause, look over my shoulder [and say], 'Okay, I’ll leave when I’m done.’ And I continue to wash my hands,” Dwayne recalls. “He looked at me, didn’t say a word, but he was fuming.”



That night, Dwayne says his behavior began to weigh on him. So the next day, he went to the teacher’s classroom to apologize. “He shook my hand. I’ll never forget that shake—he wouldn’t let it go—[and he] said, 'I want you to do something for me. … I want you to come out and play football for me,’” Dwayne says. “And I went out, and I played football for Jody Cwik. He was our head football coach, and he became a father figure to me and mentor.” SOURCE: Oprah.com
