Starstruck AFL stars get to interview The Rock

A pair of AFL players who appeared profoundly starstruck when told they would get to interview The Rock have been overjoyed when they met the man himself.

Greater Western Sydney Giants stars Adam Kennedy and Adam Treloar were filmed being told they would get to interview The Rock, and their reactions were priceless.

"I'll cry. Seriously, I'll cry," Treloar said when told he would be interviewing the wrestler-turned-movie star.

"I love him."

The video posted earlier this week caught the attention of thousands, including the actor himself, who recognised them on the red carpet of his latest movie in Sydney last night.

"What's up buddy? Don't cry, dude," The Rock said to Treloar as they embraced.
