Hollywood star Dwane 'The Rock' Johnson in sweet gesture took to social media and admitted that he wants to bribe children with cookies and cakes in order to gain attention from them.

While promoting his new film 'Skyscraper' in China, the actor chanced upon a young girl who touched his heart as she expressed her love for the actor in English.

Johnson was moved by this gesture and therefore he confessed in his Instagram account that he would continue to bribe children with cookies, toys and all things nice in turn for praises.

He also posted a video of the young girl expressing her love.

He captioned his post and wrote, "The goal with SKYSCRAPER was always to make a cross-cultural film that properly represented the Chinese people and culture. And represent properly our film's anchor - a mixed race family doing all they can to survive and STAY TOGETHER. And a huge thank you to the ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL who practiced a long time on her English so she could say, "I love you Johnson!" to me in person in front of a huge press conference. Luv U back sweetheart, and Uncle DJ will continue to bribe you and all kids with cookies, cakes, and toys so you'll always say nice things ?? ?? ??#ThankYouCHINA #CrossCulturalFilm #SKYSCRAPER"

'Skyscraper' set to release in India on July 20 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Dwayne Johnson leads the cast of 'Skyscraper' as a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and US war veteran Will Sawyer, who now assesses security for skyscrapers.

On an assignment in China, Will finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and is framed for it. A wanted man on the run, he must find those responsible in order to clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building above the fire line.

The action-thriller film is written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber of 'Central Intelligence' fame.
