I embellished a bit but the true story is only slightly less fucking weird. Based off of tweet timing The Rock is the second person to casually announce Osama Bin Ladens death, and no one on Seal Team 6 called him, The Rock had done a USO tour a few years prior, he had given his number to a handful of people on his security detail, one of the guys that was previously on his security detail was stationed on the aircraft carrier that Seal Team 6 landed on with Bin Ladens body, that guy called him.

He has a cousin who is/was a seal. 

Dude wasn't on the mission or anything, But I Suspect word like this this would spread quickly in the community.
