The 'Fast Five' star, aka The Rock, said he spotted Eastwood and his wife Dina heading into the Dolby Theater for the Los Angeles prize giving and wanted to take the opportunity to make a quick introduction. But he became starstruck by the screen legend and found himself frozen to the spot, reported Contactmusic.
"Clint has always been an inspiration of mine. As a matter of fact, Clint has always been my inspiration as an actor... With Clint, not only has he been my inspiration, (but he's) my one and only man crush," Johnson said.
Johnson has since decided to write Eastwood a note to let him know how much of a fan he is of the 'Dirty Harry' star's work.
"I wrote him a letter recently... He's been such an inspiration to me (and) I just wanted to take the time to write him a letter... I know that he received it, and in the letter it wasn't, 'Hey, here's my number, please call me', it was, 'I want you to know that you're my inspiration', that was it," he said.
