Dwayne Johnson recently took a moment to give back to his old college, the University of Miami, and delivered a humorous piece of advice to the students there. On Sunday, September 1st, the 52-year-old Black Adamactor shared a video featuring University of Miami freshmen at the Canes Fest event, where they received some of his Papatui men’s skincare andgrooming products. Johnson described this gesture as a "cool full circle moment."
The video showed several incoming students sampling the products, testing their scents, and sharing their thoughts at the Papatui booth. The feedback from the students appeared to be overwhelmingly positive.
Johnson expressed his excitement in the video caption, noting, “It’s a cool full circle moment to gift Miami’s incoming freshmen their PAPATUI so they can start their college journey taking better care of themselves.” He humorously recalled his own college days, adding, “The only thing we got as freshmen at Miami was '3 hots and a cot' and a lot of bruises on the field ”
Before reminding everyone that Papatui is available "exclusively at Target," Johnson couldn’t resist offering some lighthearted advice to the new college students: “Study hard, have fun, and try not to get too hammered on Thursday nights, because you still have class on Friday!
”
Johnson, who joined the University of Miami football team in 1991, earned 77 tackles and 4.25 sacks during his college football career as a defensive lineman, according to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Beyond sharing funny yet practical advice, Johnson is known for offering valuable life lessons to his fans. In an April interview with PEOPLE, he spoke about his mother’s unwavering support, recalling how she encouraged him even during his rebellious teenage years. She’d tell him, "I feel like the world will hear from you one day," even as she picked him up from the police station.
Reflecting on his younger self, Johnson said he would advise that “punk kid” to trust his instincts, listen to his gut, and let it guide him through life. He also humorously noted that he’d tell his younger self to go back to the 7-Eleven in Hawaii, buy all the Snickers he used to steal, and leave them for others to enjoy.
