Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson cradles crowd surfing baby
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
This baby girl has to be the youngest crowd surfer in history.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was in Mexico City recently to promote his new movie, 'Black Adam', when the strangest thing happened.
The 50-year-old was onstage when he spotted a dad in the crowd holding a baby. What happened next was both amazing and shocking.
The Rock, who has three daughters of his own, was more than happy to oblige when the father indicated that he wanted to hand his baby over to him.
"People do cry and they hand me things - I was NOT surprised to be handed this beautiful little baby. Her father caught my attention because he had tears in his eyes when he held her up high and gestured for me to hold her. I honestly thought he was holding a toy doll he wanted me to have as a gift," he captioned a video of the incident.
The former WWE wrestler added that it was a special moment.
"This beautiful, serene, present and trusting angel is Luciana. One day, I bet she’ll inspire all those around her. And whatever this moment meant for her emotional father - means it meant something special for me too."

The Rock's new movie is due for release late this month. 'Black Adam' is a DC Comics character.
"Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods--and imprisoned just as quickly--Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world," a synopsis of the film reads.
Dwayne recently starred in another DC Comics film. He voiced the character of 'Krypto/Super Dog, Bark Kent in 'DC League of Super-Pets'.
Comedian Kevin Hart also features in the animated film. He was the voice of a Boxer named Ace AKA Bat-Hound. John Krasinski voiced Kal-El/Superman.
The movie was a smash hit at the box office, and 'Black Adam' is expected to follow suit. The movie will debut in South Africa on Thursday, October 20.
