The video began with Cleasby shaking The Rock’s hand and thanking him for being such an inspiration to him.
“I wanted to thank you so much. You impressed me by losing 130 pounds by January,” Cleasby said. “There is nothing more to me than what you do. I believe you are superior.”
“Thank you very much. I recognize that,” Johnson replied, before asking Cleasby to fill him in on his “journey.”
“Day to day, working out, lifting weights. I know I don’t look like that… I used to look bigger, but I’ve definitely lost weight,” Cleasby said. “But man, listening to you every day, listening to other people, but you’ve been essentially the most inspiring to me. I have all your gear, I really like everything. I wanted to say, thank you so much.”
The younger fan then asked for a photograph, to which Johnson replied: “Okay man! Let’s do it!!”

“Thank you for sharing this with me. It means a lot,” he added, before giving Cleasby a hug. “Keep up the good work.”
The WWE star reflected on what meeting fans meant to him in the post’s caption, sharing that moments like these are the “best part of fame” for him.
“I know, I know this may sound corny at times,” Johnson wrote, “but you hear me say it regularly in relation to issues like this… bringing people together and hearing about their weight loss journeys, mental health struggles, fitness, dealing with loss, anxiety, despair, difficult times and so on, moments like this become my profound reminder that this is the best part of fame…”
“Keep up the good work Jonny Cleasby, not only have you changed your life, but your journey will change many lives that you will touch as you move forward on the road of life,” he continued, before concluding: “Happy birthday man, go smash cake and tequila.” ~ dj #bestpartofthename.”
