G.I Joe: Retaliation star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has sent a letter to his “one and only man crush” Clint Eastwood.

The 40-year-old WWE star, explained that he decided to pen a letter to his idol after becoming starstruck when he spotted Eastwood at the Oscars last month.

According to Contact Music, Dwayne said: "Clint has always been an inspiration of mine. As a matter of fact, Clint has always been my inspiration as an actor... With Clint, not only has he been my inspiration, (but he's) my one and only man crush...

"We were at the Oscars and I was doing red carpet and when I was done with an interview, I turn around and there he is, he's walking in with his wife... I was like, 'Oh man, this is it!' And then I froze. I completely froze. I couldn't pull the trigger... I looked at his wife; she smiled, I smiled at her... I didn't meet him."

Johnson has since decided to write Eastwood a note to let him know how much of a fan he is of his work.

He added: "I wrote him a letter recently... He's been such an inspiration to me (and) I just wanted to take the time to write him a letter... I know that he received it, and in the letter it wasn't, 'Hey, here's my number, please call me', it was, 'I want you to know that you're my inspiration', that was it."

You can catch Dwayne Johnson in G.I Joe: Retaliation which opens in cinemas on Wednesday 27.
