Friends: The Rock has appeared as a frequent guest on The Footy Show, with Beau interviewing the former wrestler for multiple projects
'Mate The Rock sent over $400,000, $400,000 US [dollars],' Beau said. 'Ricky Martin he sent the keys of his apartment in Bronte.'
Judging by Wippa and Fitzy's shocked reactions, it was unclear if they believed Beau's claims or if they suspected Footy Show host was making one of his trademark jokes.

Friends: Beau has also hung out with Ricky Martin on several occasions, even imitating the famous Latin singer for a hilarious Footy Show skit in 2015
In 2015 Dwayne took a shine to Beau during a press interview for disaster movie San Andreas, forbidding his publicist from ending the interview on schedule so the pair could continue to banter.
Last year The Rock and Kevin Hart tricked Beau into drinking a disgusting cocktail of ingredients for a Footy Show segment - causing the Channel Nine personality to vomit into a bucket.
And during an interview promoting Baywatch in May, The Rock hacked Beau's hair to pieces after promising to give him a haircut like his own.
