The Rock has a sensitive side. 

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has always been more than open about his relationship with his mother, Ata Johnson - and this Mother's Day was no different. The "Furious 7" actor posted a beautiful photo of his mother crying and blowing her nose while sitting on a plane with a plate of breakfast food in front of her.

For the post, the actor shared an emotional Mother's Day anecdote about his own mother's struggle as a parent and why she was shedding tears of joy.

"Cool Mother's Day story.. early am flight and I'm sittin' across from my mom when out of the blue she looks around the plane, then looks at me and says 'Son, I can't believe the life I have.. grandma and grandpa would be so proud.' I asked her, 'Are you happy ma?'. Just then the flight attendant placed my moms breakfast down on the table and my mom said to me, 'Am I happy?.. I used to worry about how I was going to buy groceries for us and now I just had my breakfast placed down in front of me'. She bursts into tears and says 'Yes, son I couldn't be happier'. This is the woman who when I was 14yrs old we were evicted out of our apartment in Hawaii 'cause we couldn't afford the $180 per week rent," the caption read.

He continued, "At this moment Im shaking my head and smiling quietly (as my mom blows her nose;) 'cause she just told me she's happy. And y'all know when our parents tell us they're happy, it's so satisfying for us, 'cause it means we've done a good job for them as their kids. Happy Mother's Day to all the deserving amazing mamas out there."

"And Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom who will no doubt kill me for posting this crying pic. #EnjoyBreakfastMom #GratefulTears #TryNotCryInTheEggs"

In 2012, the actor surprised his mom with a brand new car. At the time, Johnson posted the moment on Facebook, writing, "At 14 I saw my mom crying about our only car being repossessed. This felt good. Merry Christmas mom."
