And you thought it was nice when your co-worker brought in cupcakes that one time.
Actor Dwayne Johnson surprised his longtime stunt double and cousin, Tanoai Reed, with a new truck in a video Johnson posted on Facebook Monday.
Reed joined Johnson in front of a camera for what he thought was a behind the scenes interview about their careers – text in the video explains Reed has "no idea he's about to receive a visit from Dwanta Claus."
"When I saw him, I was like, 'Oh my God, he looks like my twin,' " Johnson said in the fake interview while standing next to Reed. "The truth is, he's been an incredible partner and brother to me. It's been an honor and I want to say from the bottom of my heart, I love you, I thank you and enjoy your new truck."
Johnson stepped back to point at the custom black pick-up truck behind him. Reed was speechless.
"Seventeen years of him giving his blood, sweat – This (is a) small token of my appreciation," Johnson said. "Love you, brother."
Johnson and Reed have worked together since the 2002 action/fantasy flick "The Scorpion King."
"Over the course of my career, my stunt double (and cousin) Tanoai Reed has broken multiple bones, severed tendons, torn ligaments & just been an overall dominating bad (expletive) achieving several 'Stuntman of the Year' honors," Johnson wrote in the Facebook post. "All done with one goal in mind - deliver the best movie possible to the world... Not only does Tanoai represent our family and my career with relentless commitment and passion. He also represents an entire Hollywood stunt community that is truly the backbone of our business."
