The Rock has paid tribute to tragic wrestler Adrian McCallum who died earlier this week.
The American acting superstar, real name Dwayne Johnson, made his name as a WWE brawler and posted a heartfelt message on social media about the late 36-year-old, who was known as 'Lionheart'.
McCallum passed away on Wednesday, having committed suicide shortly after posting a final poignant tweet about "living for the last time".
Scotland's wrestling community has been united in grief and McCallum's death has not gone noticed across the pond either.
Sharing a picture of McCallum next to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, The Rock said: "So sorry to hear the news of Adrian McCallum’s passing. He was a big wrestling star in the UK. Loved and respected.
"Never had the opportunity to shake this man’s hand but sending his family, friends & UK wrestling community love, support & strength."
Fellow Scot Drew McIntyre, who was a long-time friend, said: "Sleep well my brother. I'll see you down the line."
And WWE megastar Paige also paid tribute. She said: "Breaks my heart. RIP my friend. You were always so wonderful to me and I’ll be forever grateful that I knew you."
The popular wrestler was the Heavyweight champion of Glasgow-based Insane Championship Wrestling and was hailed by those who knew him as a 'central figure of the golden generation of Scottish wrestlers' who had a 'lion's heart inside and outside the ring'.
Adrian was the owner of Ayrshire-based Pro Wrestling Elite and coached at Glasgow Pro Wrestling Asylum (GPWA).
