The Rock Recreates His Iconic ’90s Meme for a Holiday Address to Fans


Even though Halloween is over, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t let that stop him from re-creating a famous meme of himself to send his fans a Merry Christmas. The Central Intelligence actor took to Instagram on Monday to perform a Christmas classic while showcasing an amazing rendition of his highly criticized ’90s model photos. The caption says, “Merry Christmas, from your keepin’ it friend.”

As he strolls through the lavishly furnished mansion, Johnson entertains the crowd with a cover of Mel Tormé’s “The Christmas Song” and a startlingly lifelike portrayal of himself. The Rock follows the melody, singing, “I’m walking down the hall, looking cool as f–k.” “Just have a peek at my gorgeous attire.He ends the video with, “Merry Christmas from ’90s Rock.”

Kevin Hart, Johnson’s frequent co-star, commented with a string of laughing and crying emojis, and fellow actor Vivica A. Fox just said, “Nailed it.”

Johnson’s costume skills and self-awareness were equally commended by other admirers. User franco.mabata questioned, “How big of a star do you have to be to successfully wear a costume of yourself?” “The legendary return!” exclaimed a second.

Johnson previously dressed up in 2017 to recreate the classic photo, having previously enjoyed himself with his ’90s avatar. In an interview with Daily Pop on E! News last year, he made clear comments about the appearance. He made light of the fact that at the time, his fanny pack had “a lot of inappropriate things I can’t mention right now” in addition to the phone numbers of numerous ladies “and stuff like that.”

He defended the widely criticized appearance in the same interview, citing it as a fad at the time. Johnson clarified, “Everyone had a fanny pack in the pro wrestling world in the ’90s.” “But the one that stands out, and then makes the headlines looking like an idiot, is right here.”

Johnson has been very busy over the holidays. He gained notoriety last week when he surprised customers at a toy store in New York City and paid for their gifts.
