Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a pretty big country music fan and revealed that Willie Nelson gave him his first guitar!

“You know the Trigger guitar he has? The historic one? I guess Martin only made 100 of those, and as a birthday gift, ’cause I was such a huge fan, he gave me one of those... Anyway, that’s my musical start.”
