Attendees at a central London event were stunned when Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took the stage to perform 'You're Welcome' from Disney's Moana. Big Brother UK 2023 star Yinrun Huang, who attended with her husband Luke, described the moment as a 'core memory.'
Surprise Performance at Potters Field
The event, held at Potters Field, marked the launch of Disney's live-action remake of Moana, set for release on July 10. Yinrun shared her excitement on social media, gushing that Johnson has 'such a great singing voice' and praising the British Theatre Academy dancers.
Prior to Johnson's appearance, Yinrun noted that 'rumours' had been swirling about his attendance. The crowd enjoyed traditional Hula and Ori dances before the atmosphere shifted with 'people whispering and security guards everywhere.'
Magical Encounter with The Rock
Johnson walked onto the main stage next to a giant magical fish hook, reminiscent of the film prop. 'Everyone was screaming at this point,' Yinrun declared. The highlight came when Johnson waved directly at her and later gave her a fistbump, which she replayed in slow motion on video.
Fans online expressed envy, with one writing: 'Just when you think you couldn't possibly love him any more than you already do.' Another called it 'such an incredible experience.'
Yinrun's Core Memory
Yinrun also spotted 19-year-old Catherine Laga'aia, the real-life Moana, leaving her 'couldn't believe' she was standing right in front of them. The event cemented the launch as a memorable celebration for attendees.
