The Rock found himself surrounded by chaos in New York City as his SUV was mobbed by autograph resellers shouting his nameand it all went down just steps from the studio where he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
On October 1, 2025, a crowd of eager signature hunters swarmed a black GMC Denali SUV parked near the studios entrance. Footage from the scene showed multiple people crowding the vehicle, with voices yelling, Rock, please, will you sign? and one man even pleading, Please, its my birthday!
But their desperate cries didnt get the result they were hoping for. Before The Rock even emergedor was visible inside the SUVa bald man in a plaid shirt, believed to be either a member of security or a bystander, stepped in to deescalate the scene. Okay, back off, guys, he told the crowd firmly.
Seconds later, the Denali SUV drove off without the former WWE Champion ever rolling down the window or acknowledging the fans. The vehicle appeared to reroute and avoid any direct interaction altogether.
Later that night, The Rock did appear as scheduled on The Tonight Show. Autograph chasers in NYC are no jokebut sometimes, even The Rocks presence isnt enough to get ink on a poster. The encounter shows how hectic things can get when celebs try to make public appearances, especially when resellers are involved more for profit than passion.
What do you think? Should celebs like The Rock entertain these crowds, or is security right to shut things down quickly? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
