The Rock has impacted countless people around the world in various ways. This time, the wrestler-turned-actor and occasional WWE superstar did something without even realizing it.

The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson, was recently approached at an event by a fan named Jonny Cleasby. Johnson listened on as Cleasby told him that because of the Hollywood star, he's lost a staggering 60 pounds since January.

"Thank you so much. I appreciate that. So tell me about your journey," Johnson said to Cleasby.

"Every day, running and weights," Cleasby explained. "I used to look bigger, but I definitely slimmed a lot down. Listening to you every day, listening to other people, but you were the most inspiring to me."

Johnson was last seen in WWE back in April. He teamed with his cousin Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of Night One at WrestleMania, with Johnson pinning Rhodes. The former 10-time WWE World Champion failed to successfully help Reigns during his Night Two WWE title match against Rhodes, when Johnson got chokeslammed by The Undertaker.
