Primary school pupils were "absolutely shocked" after a professional wrestler-turned-Hollywood megastar promised them a free trip to the cinema to see his new movie. It all started after students at St. Gregory Primary School, in Sudbury, Suffolk, recorded a social media video in January in the hope of getting the attention of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Headteacher Daniel Woodrow told pupils that if the former WWE star saw the clip, he would take them to see the new live-action Moana film for their end-of-year trip. However, they got an even greater surprise after their video went viral and caught the attention of the actor. He sent them a video message, promising to hire out a cinema for them. "I was so moved, and it was so cool to see you guys send me a video, and I was really moved by that," he said in what Woodrow said was a four-minute-long video. "I heard you guys were super, super pumped and excited to see live action Moana, so I'm going to find a theatre, rent it out, and you guys are going to see Moana. "Love you guys, keep doing great in school, and, as Maui says, 'You're welcome'." In the video, Johnson, who plays demigod Maui, extended the invite to the pupils' friends
