Dwayne Johnson is recognizing how "beautiful" life can be — through both its joyous and "unpredictable" moments.

On Tuesday, Nov. 12, the actor, 52, shared a video of himself meeting a woman who had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. In the clip, Johnson walked through a Target store in New Jersey as other fans stood by the side.

“Good to see you, how are you feeling?” he asked the woman, who had been diagnosed with cancer.

Shaking his hand, she replied, “Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, can’t do anything about it.”

Asked if she wanted a picture, the lady said, “I would love to.”

After telling her to “stay strong,” Johnson said his goodbyes before turning and meeting another fan's baby.

Asked to take a photo with the baby, Johnson carried the little tot in his arms. The duo then posed for a snap together as the wrestler playfully spoke to the child.

"Had to stop and spend a moment to meet this beautiful WARRIOR. 'We gotta keep fighting.' Amen. Stay strong and keep fighting 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼❤️,” Johnson wrote for the caption accompanying his Instagram post. “Then seconds later, a mama hands me her precious little baby. As frenzied, and chaotic as all this was - it hit me here just how unpredictable, yet beautiful life truly is. #clifton #newjersey #target.”

Johnson revealed in another clip on Tuesday that he had arrived in New Jersey to surprise shoppers with free gifts.

"Landed in ✈️ New Jersey and popped into @target to surprise holiday shoppers and gave away a ton of free stuff - toys, @papatui_ and even big screen TV’s 📺," his caption read. "Got crazy 🤪 and energy was wild but it was amazing meeting everyone and all of us experiencing this kinda joy & fun together ❤️👊🏾🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 #target #surprise #papatui #clifton #newjersey."
