AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took a great length to show his support to actor union SAG-AFTRA amid the ongoing strike. The "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" star broke record by making a "milestone" 7-figure donation to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund.
"While the Foundation does not disclose amounts from its donors, we can reconfirm Dwayne Johnson contributed a 7-figure to its charitable Emergency Financial Assistance Program," a SAG-AFTRA representative said in a statement. Executive director Cyd Wilson said it's "the largest single donation that we've ever received from one individual at one time," adding, "what is amazing is that that one check is going to help thousands of actors keep food on their table, and keep their kids safe, and keep their cars running. And it's not lost on me that he's very humble about this, but it is a way to get us started."
