The Rock Mourns Bob Saget’s Sudden Passing: “He Was the Kindest Man”

American Comedian Bob Saget tragically passed away at the age of 65. His staff found him unconscious at his hotel in Orlando, Florida. Given the magnitude of impact he made in the comedy industry, Laugh Factory fondly remembered him following the tragic news and The Rock captured the moment.

Dwayne Johnson took to social media to pay his tribute to Late Bob Saget. He posted a photograph of The Laugh Network remembering Saget, and prayed for his family and friends during this difficult time of their lives.

Even though Johnson did not know him personally, he had heard about Saget’s life and contributions.

Wanted to walk up to the corner to take this shot.
So surreal to see this.
So surreal to hear the news.
I never knew Bob, but I’m told by so many of our mutual friends that he was the kindest man. Kindest soul. The stuff that matters.
I wish his family strength, love & light pic.twitter.com/N0i6kKwe8j

Even as The Rock, his segments may have been heelish, but some were funny. Some of the lines he said, some of the words he said, always had the audience erupting in laughter and cheers. In fact, The Great One went on to become one of the Superstars who were supposed to be heel but the audience loved their act and charisma.

As a result, he continued playing the anti-hero character which earned him success in WWE. In fact, this was a similar type of character which Stone Cold Steve Austin played in WWE. He passed the torch to The Rock at WrestleMania XIX.
