The seven-year-old boy, who suffers from stage four cancer, got in touch with his WWE champ idol-turned-actor over Facebook with a handwritten letter saying why he wants to meet him.

And Dwayne, 43, responded to the youngster on Instagram.

He uploaded a photo collage of Tater with the message: "Tater! Guess what buddy? I'm coming to meet you!! I want you to be my special guest on our #BAYWATCH set in Savannah, GA. Everyone on set is excited to meet you... especially the pretty girls! Uh oh. Tater, not only am I super pumped to meet you, but I'm a big bald headed LUCKY DUDE to meet you as well. Big man you're way stronger than I'll ever be and you better get ready, because I hug like a bear! Can't wait to meet you Tater and your family big man! Stay strong! Your buddy ~ DJ

"PS: Your nickname 'Tater' is almost as cool as 'Rock'. Actually it's way cooler. (sic)"

Speaking of his idol in the heartfelt letter, Tater said: "I think you are strong, but I am very strong too. I've been struck by hundreds of needles, have had TONS of shots, gone through 8 surgeries, too many blood and platelet transfusions, lots and lots of chemo treatments, radiation therapy, tests, scans and 2 stem cell transplants. (sic)"
