Dwayne Johnson's private jet suffered mechanical issue with star on board

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared his harrowing plane experience with his fans on social media . On Thursday, March 27, the star 's $65 million Gulfstream G650 was on its way from Dwayne's home in Hawaii to Houston, Texas . The star was heading to the Lone Star state for the opening of United Football League's second season.

The flight takes at least nine hours - or 4,000 nautical miles. His plane is able to make 7,500 nautical miles on a full tank - but something happened less than an hour into Dwayne's flight that caused the plane to turn back while over the ocean. Dwayne addressed the situation to his Instagram followers in a video, saying, "I’m here back home in Hawaii, and I was scheduled right now to be in Houston, Texas.



" "Right now, at this very moment, I was going to be on the field in Houston, Texas, hyping up the crowd, getting them ready with electricity and mana and energy as we kicked off our UFL, our United Football League season number two, live on Fox," he continued, "I was ready to go. Man, I was super pumped to get down there to Texas, to rock and roll with all the players and fans and coaches. And I’m just so super bummed that I can’t be there and I’m so sorry.

" He then apologized to the fans of the league, the players, the staff, and "everybody." The actor then detailed why he was unable to be in Texas at the time. "Last night, we had some issues with the plane.

About 35 to 40 minutes into the flight, the pilot comes back to me, he gets down on one knee, and he is face-to-face with me. It’s just me on the plane. Just me and the crew," Dwayne said, "And he says, 'Mr.

Johnson, I’m sorry to inform you, but we cannot continue to fly over the ocean. We have a problem. We have to turn the plane around, and we have to land back in Hawaii.

You have my word I will land you back safely on the island.'" The Rock added that the pilot said it was "hydrolics issues with overheating." He continued, "He said there are some issue we can work out as we are in the air, and then there’s some that we are not going to take a chance, especially over the ocean, and especially when the computer of the plane is saying don’t fly anymore over the ocean, you gotta get back to land.

" The actor added that when they hit turbulence, he thought, "Is this is? Is this how I check out?" Dwayne added that after ordering a drink after the pilot informed him about turning back, the actor started to contemplate "the s--- that is really important in life." He ended his video saying, "Bottom line is: I’m grateful to be back on the ground. I’m grateful to be back home in Hawaii.

Super-bummed I can’t be there in Texas." Click here to follow the Mirror US on Google News to stay up to date with all the latest news, sport and entertainment stories.
