#10: Working Out With Jimmy Fallon
What do you get when you combine two of the funniest and most dynamic entertainers working in the biz today? Some seriously gut-busting content, that’s what. In 2014, Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon, aka The Fungo Brothers, teamed up to create an ‘80s style workout video, complete with cheesy motivational quotes, ridiculous hairdos and something called a “thigh cruncher”. Johnson looks surprisingly at home in ‘80s attire and rocks the thigh cruncher like a seasoned vet. Fallon on the other hand looks like he’s never spent more than 5 minutes in a gym in his entire life. Put it all together however, and the real takeaway is that striking comedy gold is as easy as putting Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon in a room together.
#9: Discussing His Exercise and Eating Habits
You don’t go from college football player to pro wrestler to action movie star without having the drive to keep your body in tippy-top shape. In a 2015 interview with ABC News, Johnson revealed how he maintains his physique. He wakes up at 4am every day, checks his emails, does 45 minutes of cardio and then eats breakfast. But that’s just to get him warmed up. From there it’s off to the gym for an hour of strength and conditioning work. All that before he’s even put in a minute of acting! Of course, as anyone who’s in peak physical condition will tell you, staying fit is all about what you eat. In Johnson’s case, that means consuming 5000 to 7000 calories per day!
#8: His Awesome Social Media Game

The Rock totally rocks social media. Yeah, we went there. All terrible jokes aside, Dwayne Johnson doesn’t mess around when it comes to Instagram, Twitter and the like. The global superstar has a massive online following thanks to his never-ending stream of adorable and/or hilarious posts. Peppered between posts about his film projects, killer workouts and all around larger than life persona, are countless pics of Johnson kicking it with his wife and kids, from chilling in the pool to just relaxing in front of the TV. For the most up to date info about Johnson’s life, nothing beats his Twitter feed, which is basically just a window into his mind. And honestly, what more could you ask for?
#7: Pranking a Fan With a Surprise Wedding
Who better than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to pull off one of the most epic pranks of all time? In 2015, Johnson teamed up with Screen Junkies to give his friend, correspondent and Rock superfan Nick Mundy, the surprise wedding of a lifetime. To pull of the ruse, Mundy’s bosses convinced him that he was interviewing Dwayne Johnson at a press junket. However, when the interview is “cancelled” Johnson informs Munday that the real reason he’s there is officiate the latter’s wedding. The look on Munday’s face when he walks into his own wedding is priceless. How many A-list Hollywood stars do you know that would become an ordained minister for such an elaborate bit? Yeah, not many.
#6: Hosting “Rock the Troops”
In 2016, Dwayne Johnson heeded Uncle Sam’s call and hosted “Rock the Troops”. The event, which featured live music, comedy and other entertainment, was held in Hawaii at the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and honored the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Johnson was joined by his friends and fellow celebs Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Terry Crews and many, many more. Organizers expected between 12,000 and 15,000 military families to attend, but the event wound up ballooning to well over 50,000 people; with some waiting hours in line just to get in! Explaining the number of people who showed up, producer Casey Patterson remarked, “If anyone can do it and draw that kind of very passionate, enthusiastic crowd, it’s Dwayne.” We couldn’t agree more!
#5: Performing “Shake It Off” on “Lip Sync Battle”
20 Famous People Who Tragically Died While Performing
In “Lip Sync Battle’s” inaugural episode, Dwayne Johnson delivered a performance that set the bar very high for all celebs to follow - and he did it without any elaborate choreography, props or back up dancers. No stranger to subverting the muscle-bound action hero archetype, Johnson surprised fans yet again when he chose Taylor Swift’s iconic 2014 hit, “Shake It Off”, as his first song. “Lip Sync Battle” is all about preparation and commitment to the bit, and Johnson holds nothing back - nailing every word while moving and shaking like a true popstar. Best moment: when Johnson flipped Fallon the bird while delivering the “haters” line. So can we get some sort of collaboration between Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Swift?
#4: Winning the Generation Award at the “MTV Movie & TV Awards”
Dwayne Johnson was honored at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards for his numerous cinematic achievements and contributions, with the Generation Award. The award, which is given “to an artist who has shown us a variety of impressive roles, a personal and professional flair and of course, an awesome level of talent" sounds tailor-made for Johnson, who’d previously co-hosted the award’s show with Kevin Hart in 2016. As the most electrifying man in sports (and movie) entertainment, it’s only right that Johnson entered the venue in style – complete with backup dancers doing the Haka, steam cannons and of course, “We Will Rock You” blasting over the speakers. His speech was equally impressive, with Johnson delivering an impassioned and inspiring message to his fans.

It’s not just that the photo was hilarious, it’s that Johnson was dead serious about it. He admitted that when he put the look together, he thought it looked “cool”.

Speaking of “SNL,” in 2017, Dwayne Johnson joined “SNL’s” exclusive five-timers club, reserved for celebrities that have hosted the long-running sketch comedy series five times or more. Johnson owes his numerous appearances to skits like this one, which features him playing Barack Obama’s hulked-out alter ego, The Rock Obama. During a meeting with his staff, Obama becomes increasingly agitated, eventually losing his temper and transforming, quite seamlessly we might add, into The Rock Obama. Johnson absolutely nails the performance, which features him chucking a staff member through a glass window and ripping off a man’s hand, before being joined by She-Rock Obama. Let’s just say you shouldn’t mess with Michelle’s garden… Before we unveil our number one pick, here are some honorable mentions: Helping an Interviewer Get Some Long-Awaited Revenge His Collaboration with Lilly Singh When Bryan Cranston Interviewed Him About His Traveling Gym Getting Embarrassed Over His Childhood Nickname When He and Jimmy Fallon Gave a Graduation Speech
