Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has detailed a scary moment from his recent private jet flight (Picture: X)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dwayne ‘The Rock<\/a>’ Johnson has revealed a terrifying private jet incident with fans that could’ve ended very differently.<\/p>\n

‘Last night, we had some issues with the plane,’ he began in a video shared on social media<\/a> this afternoon.<\/p>\n

He explained that he was due to be in Houston<\/a>, Texas, right now for the opening weekend of the United Football League’s second season.<\/p>\n

Instead, the 52-year-old is home in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

‘About 35-40 minutes into the flight, the pilot comes back to me; he gets down on one knee, and he faces me, face-to-face, and it’s just me on the plane, me and the crew, and he says, “Mr Johnson, I’m sorry to inform you that we cannot continue to fly over the ocean”.’<\/p>\n

The pilot declared they had a ‘problem,’ meaning the plane had to be turned around and land back in Hawaii.<\/p>\n
