Dwayne Johnson, known as The Rock, made an NSFW admission during a promotional interview for the live-action adaptation of Moana. The 54-year-old actor, who reprises his role as the demigod Maui, appeared on Kiss FM and was asked by presenter Tyler West: 'What's your stroke of choice?'
After a brief hesitation, Johnson burst into laughter and responded with 'Domination,' catching the room off guard. West quickly clarified that he was referring to swimming strokes, not sexual ones, leading to a flustered Johnson exclaiming, 'Oh s**! I get it! Maui! The ocean! I went to a whole other place.' He later added, 'I just completely gave away my sex life.'
Johnson's Humorous Reaction
The Jumanji star took the blunder in stride, sharing the video on Instagram with a caption that read: 'I may always look clean, but under the hood your boy's filthy ??' He also wrote, 'Honestly thought he was asking about a different kind of “stroke”. Jesus ??♂️? I need carbs. And sleep.'
Fans reacted with amusement in the comments. @brooksyface wrote: 'As soon as I heard the laugh I knew, uh oh. Honestly what kinda question is that without context.' @goldentrckstar102 added: 'Even I was like “wait…HUH???” ???.' @karlusgtailor laughed: 'Domination said with CHEST??'
Not the First Cheeky Comment
This is not the first time Johnson has made a risqué remark. In 2018, he responded to DJ Khaled's refusal to perform oral sex on his wife by writing on social media: 'Ahem.. *clears throat* as a man, I take great pride in mastering ALL performances. This is probably a little TMI.. I will now quietly excuse myself from this fun thread.' His followers called it the ultimate 'mic drop' moment.
Johnson, who married Lauren Hashian in 2019 and has two children with her, is known for his roles in action films and comedies like Baywatch (2017), which featured adult humor.
Moana 2026 Release
The live-action Moana, starring Catherine Laga'aia as the lead, is set to release in cinemas on July 10, 2026. It carries a PG rating, ensuring no adult content. The film is a musical adventure following a young Moana leaving her island for the first time on an epic voyage.
