Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson shows off his softer side as dad crowd-surfs baby to star

The moving moment a dad crowd-surfed his 'beautiful' baby girl to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson during a promotional event has been caught on camera.

Johnson, 50, was advertising his new movie Black Adam at the Diego Rivera Museum in Mexico City when the father raised his baby into the crowd.

Footage from the event shows the baby traveling through the audience as she makes her way into The Rock's arms who was waiting on stage.

Stunned onlookers watched as the baby girl, wrapped in a pink blanket, was transported to the stage.

Dwayne beamed as he picked up the little girl and cuddled her in front of the crowds in a video shared to his Instagram account.

Writing next to the adorable clip, he said: "Our Black Adam Tour has been electric, fun and emotional."

He went on to explain that he was "not surprised" that the child was delicately passed through the crowd after he locked eyes with her father.

He added: "People do cry and they hand me things - I was NOT surprised to be handed this beautiful little baby.

"Her father caught my attention because he had tears in his eyes when he held her up high and gestured for me to hold her.

"I honestly thought he was holding a toy doll he wanted me to have as a gift. This beautiful, serene, present and trusting angel is Luciana.

"One day, I bet she’ll inspire all those around her. And whatever this moment meant for her emotional father - means it meant something special for me too.

"Love you back MEXICO and the mana is strong. Girl dads ROCK."

One viewer said in the comments: "One of the greatest videos of all time." Another added: "This man is a great man."

Not everyone was a fan, with some viewers voicing concern about the 'dangerous' stunt.

One said: "I love this but aye.. don’t be passing your babys around like their some dolls. Also as a father this is annoying me.. but hold the head.

"That baby is wayyy to young to not be having someone supporting their head and neck."

Another said: "I am a HUGE fan. But as dad I would never pass my newborn through hands of strangers.

"Like I cannot even fathom doing such a thing. Or even having my baby in that environment."

A third penned: "This is Cute but not sure id crowd surf my infant." A fourth added: "So nobody else is wondering why a baby is being passed around like she not fragile."
