Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson wasn’t himself when he was 14 and hungry.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, the actor and former professional wrestler revealed he could have been a walking tagline for the Snickers advertising campaign that pokes fun at the odd, often desperate things we do when our stomachs are growling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 14 years old, every day I used to stop here at this 7-Eleven and steal a king-sized Snicker bar because I couldn’t afford to buy one,\u201d he explained in a recent Instagram video, adding that the caramelly nougat and peanut chocolate bar served as his pre-workout snack. \u201cI did that for almost a year every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video post, which was shared on the \u201cBlack Adam\u201d actor’s Instagram on Sunday, followed him as he entered a 7-Eleven location in Hawaii and purchased every last Snickers bar on the store’s shelves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades,\u201d he wrote in the post’s caption. \u201cWe were evicted from Hawaii in ’87, and after all these years \u2014 I finally got back home to right this wrong. I was broke as hell … The same clerk was there every day and she always just turned her head and never busted me. \u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson has been open about his family’s struggles to make ends meet during his teen years.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the actor spoke about watching his parents depend on the kindness of others to help stretch their paychecks and put food on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom pointed out earlier in the day there was a time back in ’87 when we couldn’t even afford Thanksgiving dinner and was praying someone would invite us over (to) their house to eat. We were in a tough spot back then, but we got (through) it,\u201d Johnson noted in a post shared on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n

And got through it he most certainly did.<\/p>\n

The famous actor didn’t end his trip with just a Snickers raid. As an additional penance, the actor bought the items of every customer in the store and provided tips to the store’s cashiers.<\/p>\n

In total, his in-store purchase amounted to a cool $298.<\/p>\n
