View this post on Instagram #TBT to The Blamoan (Black & Samoan) Beast - pregame autograph signing at our famed Orange Bowl when I was ballin’ for THE U. 22yrs old, broke like a MF’r and extremely hungry to make it. And as you can see being bald is my choice dammit ? Took me years to finally understand what a lucky SOB I am to actually have fan ask for my autograph. Back then, I didn’t understand how cool it is or how grateful I should be to have someone care enough to ask for your signature. Because the alternative is simple — go back to being broke and nobody givin’ a s**t about gettin’ my autograph. Once I realized that, I never turned down an autograph request again. Unless the person’s an !*$% ?. #TheBlamoanBeast #94OnTheField #1InYourHeart ? A post shared by therock (@therock) on Feb 7, 2019 at 4:59pm PST

This week's message from The Rock: be humble and be grateful when fans ask for your autograph. He really suits being bald.
