Santa Claus is washed. This is a fact. Thankfully, there's apparently a new expert gift-giver traveling the globe with unbridled joy in tow: Dwanta Claus. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who’s had one hell of a year while dominating TV and film, hit up his dad Friday with an impressive Xmas gift that's hopefully a sign of how this new Claus is going to do business in the future.

"Bought my dad a Christmas gift and surprised him," Johnson wrote on Instagram Friday. "He's had a hard life. This one felt good. My dad, Rocky Johnson, is a minimalist. Always has been. Never asks me for much and over the years his needs are always the barest [sic]." Johnson then shared the story of how his father became homeless at the age of 13 after standing up to his mother's drunk boyfriend, ultimately laying dude out with a shovel:

Dwanta Claus recently smashed a 4-year Spike TV record with his Rock the Troops variety special, a feat that should come as a surprise to no one. The special bagged 2.2. million viewers off the strength of Dwanta, Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney, and the cool Jonas, i.e. Nick.

Happy to receive a free automobile next Xmas, Dwanta Claus. Hit me up.
