The Rock Knew About Osama Bin Laden’s Death Before Nearly Anyone Else?

One man apparently knew about Osama bin Laden’s death before President Barack Obama made the announcement. Long before Obama spoke to the nation — and before media outlets reported the news, The Rock took to twitter and posted, “Just got word that will shock the world — Land of the free … home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” Dwayne Johnson later tweeted that he “couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present.” Click HERE to see how other athletes reacted to bin Laden’s death on twitter and click HERE to see fans at the Phillies-Mets game chant “U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!” once the news spread throughout Citizens Bank Park. .bbpBox64877987341938688 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/214515143/Rock-Twitter-back-revised.jpg) #C0DEED;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px 0 0px;width:38px;height:38px} p.bbpTweet a:hover{text-decoration:underline}p.bbpTweet span.timestamp{font-size:12px;display:block} Just got word that will shock the world – Land of the free…home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!less than a minute ago via Who Say Favorite Retweet ReplyDwayne JohnsonTheRock .bbpBox64884409425330176 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/214515143/Rock-Twitter-back-revised.jpg) #C0DEED;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px 0 0px;width:38px;height:38px} p.bbpTweet a:hover{text-decoration:underline}p.bbpTweet span.timestamp{font-size:12px;display:block} AMERICA BROUGHT IT — TEAM BRING IT FOREVER PROUD..less than a minute ago via Who Say Favorite Retweet ReplyDwayne JohnsonTheRock
