Themba Gorimbo no longer has to live at the gym; the UFC fighter now has a place of his own to call home, all thanks to a wonderful act of kindness from his hero, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
After hearing Themba's story about competing with only $7 in his pocket, the movie star and WWE veteran surprised Themba at his gym last week. He was keeping good on a promise he made.
Themba's hero had something else up his sleeve, so it turned out that their interaction at the gym was just the start of their unique time together.
The Rock had initially said that they would meet up at his friend Jay's Miami residence, but as soon as they arrived, Themba discovered that there was no "Jay."
Themba soon recognized he was in his new flat after wandering around and saw framed family photos everywhere!
The Rock said, "I was so moved by your story. When I found out you were sleeping on the couch in the gym ... now there's no more couch sleeping. This is your house. Welcome home!"
Themba replied, "Thank you so much, man. I will become a champion, trust me. Trust me, you can shake my hand, I will become your champion. Thank you. Thank you so much."
