Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joked this week he had finally “exorcised this damn chocolate demon” after he returned to the Hawaii 7-Eleven — where he claimed he used to steal a Snickers “every day” as a 14-year-old – and bought out all of the nougat bars. 

The “Black Adam” star explained in an Instagram post that his family was “broke as hell” when he was living on the island and for nearly a year when he was 14, he would swipe a Snickers from the store as his pre-workout snack. 

The actor and former wrester known as “The Rock” said his family was “evicted from Hawaii” in 1987, and he had wanted to return to “right this wrong” for decades.

In a video posted to Instagram, the 50-year-old had a clerk ring up all of the store’s Snickers, leaving them on the counter and telling him to give the Snickers to any customers who look like they’re going to steal one. 

He also tipped the clerk who had the task of counting the dozens of bars.

He wrote that he realized the deed might seem “silly” to some, but Johnson noted that every time he has returned to Hawaii and gone by the 7-Eleven, he “always knew” that he “needed to go in and clean out every Snickers bar they had – the right way.”

“And as a bonus it was a lot of fun to take care of everybody who walked into 7-11 while I was there. Least I could do considering all the s— I used to steal from here,” he added.

Johnson continued: “We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces.”

Dwayne Johnson is making up for past missteps.

The 50-year-old superstar on Monday took to Instagram to document a visit to a 7-Eleven store in Hawaii where he used to shoplift at as a teenager – this time buying out the store’s Snickers inventory while picking up the tabs for surprised and starstruck customers.

The wrestler-turned-actor said in the caption of the post that when he was 14, he had routinely swiped a king-size Snickers ‘EVERY DAY from 7-11 for almost a year’ as he headed to work out at the gym.

‘The same clerk was there every day and always just turned her head and never busted me,’ the Black Adam star explained. 

He continued: ‘I’ve exercised a few big demons over the years. I know this one seems VERY SILLY, but every time I come back home to Hawaii and drive by 7-11…I always knew I needed to go in and clean out every Snickers bar they had – the right way.’

Johnson said that ‘it was a lot of fun to take care of everybody who walked into 7-11 while I was there,’ as it was the least he ‘could do considering all the s*** [he] used to steal from here.’

He said that the timeframe was around when his family was evicted from their home in Hawaii amid financial troubles.

The actor smiled as he cleared out the store’s Snickers inventory 

The Black Adam actor laid dozens of Snickers bars out on the counter 

Johnson picked up a tab in the $300 range including the Snickers and tabs for customers 

Johnson reflected on his past mistakes, saying, ‘We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation – and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces.’

In the accompanying clip, Johnson was seen in a black tank top with his Brahma Bull logo and black shorts, with black sneakers and sunglasses.

He walked in the convenience store and purchased around $300 in Snickers and other items for customers. He also tipped the employees for processing the massive purchase.

He told the clerk, ‘Thank you so much. I appreciate you. If somebody looks like they’re stealing Snickers, give them these so they don’t steal them.’
