- Dwayne Johnson confessed that he used to steal Snickers bars from a local store every day.
- But the star recently went back to the Hawaii 7-Eleven to clear his conscience.
Dwayne Johnson is arguably one of the biggest stars on the planet right now, following numerous successful movies on the big screen like "Fast Five," "Hobbs and Shaw," "Jumanji," "Moana," and most recently, "Black Adam."
But Johnson is also known for being honest about his rise to success and honoring his humble beginnings.
On Sunday, the actor posted an Instagram video that shows him returning to a 7-Eleven store in Hawaii that he used to steal from every day as a teenager in order to clear his conscience.
Johnson explained in the caption that he's "finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that's been gnawing at me for decades."
He wrote: "I was broke as hell, so I used to steal a king sized Snickers every day from 7-11 for almost a year when I was 14yrs old, on my way to the gym."
Johnson noted that the store clerk "never busted me," but the star always felt guilty whenever he was back home, knowing that he should go in and "clean out every Snickers bar they had — the right way."
And the video shows him doing just that, as he spends $298 on the Snickers bars, as well as everyone else's shopping in the store. He also gives some cash to the clerks working behind the till as a thank you.
"Least I could do considering all the shit I used to steal from here," he wrote.
Johnson pointed out that although he can't change the past, he can at least try to redeem himself by paying it forward.
He said: "We can't change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger's faces."
