  • She hooked me.

  • Why Dwayne Johnson is called "The Rock"?

  • I don't know why.

  • 'Cause I'm quite soft.

  • Why are you called "The Rock"?

  • The birth story of "The Rock", is before I do what I do now, many moons ago, I used to throw around 300 pound men for a living, and get my ass kicked.

  • And then my original wrestling name was "Rocky Maivia", which was a combination of my dad's first name and my grandfather's last name, because both of them were pro-wrestlers.

  • So my name became "Rocky Maivia", and when it was first pitched to me from Vince McMahon, he said, I got your name and I want it to be "Rocky Maivia".

  • Now, what do you think?

  • And as... And as we, he knows me now, and it's how I speak. I say, I hate it.

  • - I hate it, and I hated the name. I hated it.- Did you really?

  • - I hated it because- - Why did you hate it?

  • The lineage I had, gave me the opportunity to at least knock on the door.

  • - But you wanted your own space. - I wanted my own identity, I wanted my own space.

  • So while I was very proud to come from who I came from, with my dad and my grandfather, and my whole family's in wrestling.

  • I still wanted my own space.

  • And so I said, I hate it.

  • And he said, okay. Great, well that's your name.

  • - Wow! - And I went, okay.

  • So I embraced it, and I did it.

  • And that name did not stick.

  • And eventually, when I became a bad guy, it got truncated down to "The Rock".

  • - And a guy who was my father figure, and I've talked to you many times about him, Pat Patterson. - Yeah.

  • Was a mentor of mine in pro-wrestling.

  • I lost him last year when I lost my dad at the same time, I lost my father and my father figure in the same year.

  • And he said, what if we call you "The Rock"?

  • He's a French guy, he had a tough French accent.

  • I said, I love it!

  • And he goes, okay, you're "The Rock".

  • - Love it! - And that was it.

  • - Come on, come on, come on. - Oh, we got one more.

  • Can Dwayne Johnson sing?

  • - No! - No, he cannot.

  • What is the deal with "The Rock's" flabby tummy?

  • - Wh- What? - What is the deal with "The Rock's" abs?

  • What's wrong with-

  • What's wrong with "The Rock's" abs?

  • - That's so [beep] up! - That is [beep] up!

  • Who wrote that? What is wrong with them?

  • - There's nothing wrong with them. - There's nothing wrong with them?

  • - No, here's the thing. - Oh god.

  • - I think because on Instagram, all these Instagram fitness models have these incredible, 6, 8, 12, 24 pack stomachs. - You don't have a six pack?

  • - No, I got like, a five and a half pack. - Okay.

  • - Sometimes a four and half pack. - Okay.

  • But the problem was, which a lot of people don't know.

  • I tore, in a wrestling match, I tore my, the top of my quad off my pelvis.

  • It went bang in a wrestling match.

  • And then what that did, that caused a chain reaction, and it tore my abdomen wall.

  • So then I had three, I had to do a triple hernia emergency surgery, of a tear, a tear, and a tear with my abs. - Now they look pretty messed up.

  • - Yeah, so they're not like, perfect abs. - Got it.

  • - Yes, so- - You know what, it's not his fault guys.

  • - These [beep] [beep], who are-

  • - It's not his fault. - Who are Googling, "What's wrong with The Rock's abs?".

  • - What's wrong with your abs? Where are your abs, you know? - Well, that's called a wrestling match for 45 minutes.

  • - And the top of my quad popped out of my pelvis. -No, we heard it. Guys, we've heard it.

  • - No, and my abductor popped off my pelvis. - No no no, we heard it, we heard it.

  • - And the pain I went through. - Listen.

  • You're gonna Google that, now.

  • You're gonna Google that, and you're gonna get really insecure. - I gotta fix that [beep].

  • - You're gonna get super insecure about it. - I'm gonna Google...

  • - What had "The Rock"... What did "The Rock" overcome? - You just... You have freaked him out.

  • You have freaked him out, now.

  • This is gonna keep you up at night.

I'm Emily Blunt.
