A tearful Dwayne Johnson fan shared a sweet moment with the wrestler-turned-movie star at a Berlin event for his new action-comedy, Red One.

Johnson, 52, posted a video of the precious moment, where he helped a hyperventilating woman breathe and talked to her before taking a selfie at the event. When Johnson walks away, the emotional woman gives both her friends a hug, in disbelief that she had a chance to meet the actor.

"Ok this one got me - watch til the end," Johnson began his post, including the video, on X. "This lovely girl was tearing up as we met, she said some beautiful things to me and asked if we could take a selfie - I said yes but first let’s take a few deep breaths together to compose ourselves a bit - we don’t want no crazy looking selfies."

He concluded, "She was the absolute sweetest thing. And to me, these kind of interactions with people will always always always be the best part of fame."

Johnson has had memorable fan interactions before and keeps track of them on his official social media accounts. Many of Johnson's fans cry at the opportunity to meet him, like a kid in the first video below, named Marco, who Johnson graciously hugged.

In the description of the video, Johnson recalled that he met late boxer Muhammad Ali as a child, whom he called "sweet and kind." "Made a MASSIVE POSITIVE impression on me that I never forgot," he continued.

Red One, which also stars J.K. Simmons, Chris Evans and Lucy Liu, is released to theaters on Nov. 15.
