Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently made global fans stir when he appeared with football legend Lionel Messi in a private meeting in Miami. Not only did he express his absolute admiration for the Argentine superstar, “The Rock” also affirmed that he is a “true fanboy” of Messi – the man who is completely changing the face of American football.
According to a close source, the meeting took place after the Inter Miami CF match, where Messi continued to shine with top form. Dwayne Johnson, who has a strong passion for sports, did not hesitate to share his excitement when witnessing the “Messi effect” spreading across the United States. He said: “Messi is not just a player, he is a global icon, an inspiration for the young generation of Americans who love football.”
What surprised the public the most was that “The Rock” announced that he would invest $30 million to support the development of Inter Miami CF as well as youth training programs in the US. The goal, according to him, is to “bring American soccer closer to the level of Europe and South America.” The investment is said to include sponsorship of facilities, a soccer academy, and a global MLS promotion campaign.
This action caused an explosion on social networks. Many people praised “The Rock” for his sportsmanship and vision in contributing to the development of American soccer. Some comments on X (Twitter) also called him “a champion not only in the ring but also in the hearts of fans.”
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi was said to be very touched by Dwayne Johnson’s support. The Argentine superstar sent his thanks and said that he “admired the positive energy and fighting spirit” of “The Rock”. A photo of the two hugging and smiling brightly quickly went viral, attracting millions of likes in just a few hours.
Experts believe that the combination of Hollywood influence and a global sports icon like Messi could help MLS enter a new golden age. Many people say that if David Beckham once laid the foundation for American football, then Messi and “The Rock” are the ones making that dream come true.
With a “huge” investment and an inspiring statement, Dwayne Johnson not only proved his true love for Messi but also showed strong belief in the future of American football. If all plans are implemented in the right direction, MLS could soon become the most attractive tournament on the planet – where top stars come not only to “retire”, but to conquer.
From fanboy to mega-investor, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has once again proven that he is not only a Hollywood icon, but also an inspiration who dares to act for what he believes in. And this time, that thing is called Lionel Messi.
