Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson turned a year older on May 2 and wishes poured in from stars, fans and people from all walks of life. The Empire State actor received wishes from Ludacris, Jim Kwik, JJ Watt, Senada Greca, among many others. Dwayne dropped a video from his gym and wished himself and quipped that he's now old.

He added, "Mahalo everyone so much for the morning birthday love. I’m a 978-year-old T-Rex, so you hope with age we all get a little wiser, mindful, balanced, inspired, motivated and can tell a helluva dirty joke. Today is my birthday and my cheat day so it’s a double whammy hell yes jackpot."

Johnson was also overwhelmed as he received a beautiful video of a very special and strong little girl named Indy Llew at 1 am on his special day. He wished for her to stay strong and also asked her to keep singing her songs. On his birthday, the news of Uli Latukefu joining the Black Adam cast also surfaced on the internet.
