In a heartwarming video posted to the movie star’s Instagram account Wednesday, Johnson shares how he gifted his beloved, custom truck to a very deserving navy veteran. The Red Notice star, 49, wanted to give back to Oscar Rodriguez after learning all about how the veteran takes care of his family and vulnerable people in his community.

When the movie ends, Johnson has one more surprise for the veteran. Johnson’s “original idea was to give away the Porsche Taycan, that I drive in the movie, Red Notice. So we reached out to Porsche, but they said no. But I still said, yes 😉 I’ll do one better. I’ll give away my personal custom truck as the gift. My baby 😊.” He brings Rodriguez over to the Ford truck and hands him a letter. “Thank you for your service, brother. Enjoy your new truck,” Rodriguez reads aloud, and collapses to the ground when he realizes what’s happening.

Johnson commented on the photo with some further words of encouragement: “You’re a good man, brother. I’m so happy God & the universe connected our worlds.
