The Ellen Degeneres Show always knows how to bring in the biggest and most beloved celebrities, and this time was no exception. On a recent episode, Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” made an appearance to talk about his latest movie and share some adorable stories about his daughter, Simone.
First and foremost, Dwayne looked incredibly well-rested, and he attributed this to his recent family vacation in Hawaii. It seems like a dream getaway, but surprisingly, Dwayne admitted that they spent most of their time sitting in front of the TV, eating donuts and pizza. Sometimes, even in paradise, all you need is some quality time with your loved ones and your favorite shows!
Speaking of his daughter, Simone, Dwayne couldn’t help but gush about her. He shared a funny and heartwarming story about how she would always run away every time he called home from his shoots. But one day, while watching Finding Nemo on TV, he explained to her that Daddy could call anyone, even celebrities like Dory or Brad Pitt. This cute anecdote just shows the imagination and innocence of a three-year-old’s mind!
Dwayne also brought a picture of himself at the age of three, and it’s safe to say that the resemblance to Simone is uncanny. It’s always heartwarming to see how children inherit traits from their parents, and Dwayne and Simone’s curly hair is just too adorable.
The conversation then took a hilarious turn as Dwayne talked about his height. At three years old, he was already quite tall, and he shared an amusing Christmas story of when he sat on Santa Claus’ lap at eight years old. Being almost as tall as Santa himself, it must have made for a funny sight! Dwayne’s storytelling abilities and sense of humor really shine through during this conversation.
As the interview continued, Dwayne discussed his role in the movie “Be Cool” and how he was thrilled to work with incredible actors like John Travolta and Uma Thurman. He emphasized how important it was for him to be a part of a film where he could be fearless and take risks. It truly speaks to his passion for his craft and his dedication to entertaining audiences worldwide.
But the highlight of the show was when Dwayne revealed his love for donuts. In a previous appearance, he had mentioned his favorite donut was the glazed one from Dunkin Donuts. However, this time, he introduced a new favorite, the Malasada. This delicious pastry from Hawaii has become Dwayne’s go-to, and he even enjoys it with ice cream. Talk about indulgence!
To make the moment even more special, the show surprised Dwayne with fresh Malasadas from Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu. He couldn’t contain his excitement as he indulged in the sweet treat, even going as far as putting the donut on the floor momentarily before picking it back up. It’s safe to say that he’s not afraid to go all out when it comes to his love for donuts!
In conclusion, this episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show was filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, and delightful indulgences. Dwayne Johnson‘s presence and infectious energy made for a truly entertaining show. From sharing cute stories about his daughter to revealing his favorite cheat meal, it’s evident that Dwayne’s charisma knows no bounds.
