As Jimmy Fallon raised the topic of the throwback photo, everyone was immediately ready to go on a hilarious trip around it. The photo presents The Rock in a weird black Turtleneck outfit with a chain on his neck and blue jeans leaning on a wall. He is also wearing a fanny pack on his waist. The Hercules actor spoke about the photo which was taken in the 1990s that he thought “it’s a chick magnet”.
The parts which gained the most attention were a tissue placed under the left elbow and the fanny pack. As for the fanny pack, the San Andreas actor claimed that at those times, every pro wrestler had a fanny pack. Earlier once when asked what are the contents of the fanny pack, Johnson didn’t say anything clearly and said that they are “inappropriate things“. But he said to Fallon that there are pop-tarts and condoms.
The image is so viral that it was even featured as a balloon in the 2020’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a promotion of the NBC sitcom Young Rock which will release its third season this year. The show focuses on various incidents in the life of Dwayne Johnson.
Dwayne Johnson has come a long way
Even though some earlier works of the Jumanji star led him to be the subject of memes, now his significantly massive stardom can’t be denied. He is the sole reason the fans got one of the most iconic Superman played by Henry Cavill back on the big screens. If it was not for The Rock, we could have never got our beloved Henry Cavill back as the Last Son of Krypton.
Dwayne Johnson’s role as DC’s Black Adam has also led the star to be a fan favorite in no time. His aura as the Man in Black led the audience to rush into the theaters even after the initial critics’ reception was not so well. Besides his future in the slate of DC, he is also set to star in the multistarrer movie Red One starring Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, and J.K. Simmons.
Black Adam is currently running in theaters while Young Rock season 3 is set to release on November 4, 2022, on NBC
