In truth, it was round 5.45pm earlier than the Moana star appeared, so after ready for an hour and forty-five minutes, none of those that’d waited within the crowd mentioned; “You’re welcome.” Moderately than apologize nonetheless, The Rock leaned on his present on-screen ‘unhealthy man’ persona and poked enjoyable of his viewers as a substitute.
“Are you booing as a result of The Rock was imagined to be right here at 4-0’clock, is that why you might be booing?” requested Johnson. “You’re booing as a result of The Rock was somewhat late, is that why you might be booing?” he requested once more as the gang shouted again within the affirmative. “… He was watching YouTube, watching Jalen Hurts lose within the playoffs once more!” mocked the film star.
