Rock’s mom interrupted her interview with Jimmy Fallon for a song and was adorable

Now we know where Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s talent and charisma comes from!

On Wednesday night, he continued The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote his new comedy special “Young Rock”, which is loosely based on his life and history as a fighter and competitive and fighter actor.

They discussed the cast of the show and the importance of finding the right person to play their Samoan mother, and then Jimmy casually mentioned that he had recently seen The Rock’s mother playing ukulele and singing a song at her grandfather’s grave in Hawaii on Instagram. The Rock said to Jimmy, “she’s right here”, and called her mom to say hello.

Ata Johnson, 72, jumped straight into his son’s interview with a big smile, and together they exploded into an unexpected version of “Savalivali Means Go For a Walk”, a Samoan song. Dwayne, 46, looked confused at first, and then suddenly he looked like a little boy taken by his mother’s charms, when he dropped his head in his hand and started singing along.

Then Ata enthusiastically announced, “We have one more!” to which his son replied, “No, we don’t have one anymore! What’s going on?” and burst out in confused laughter.

The next song was so charming, and Jimmy couldn’t stop blushing as they sang the words in perfect harmony:

“We love you, Jimmy / Oh, yes, we love / We love you, Jimmy / and that’s true. When we’re away from you / we’re sad. Oh Jimmy, we love you.”

Jimmy sent kisses back to her and said, “You just stole the interview. You are unbelievable. You are a superstar!”

The Rock said on Twitter that his mom had a lot of fun because she absolutely loves Jimmy Fallon – “I think more than I do, since she never sang this song for me !?”

On Instagram he also reacted:

“My mom LOVES @jimmyfallon as a son, so I thought she would love to go into improvised style and sing a song for him with her ukulele.

But after the first song ends, she says, ‘We have one more’ … to what I said, ‘NO, WE DON’T HAVE ONE MORE’ … 😂😂😂 🛑

But she started strumming anyway and the moment she started singing.

“WE LOVE YOU JIMMYYYYY OH YES WE DOOOOO ….”

I stayed in tune with her and started singing too 🤷🏾

At this point I gave up any control and power I thought I had and just let this big old slice of goodness pie be savored !!!!

I am a lucky son of a bitch to have a mother with such a positive strength. What a happy soul she has 🙏🏾

I admit, her mana is very contagious ✨

People on the internet are obsessed with their lovely relationship, and now there are calls for mom to release more songs.

The people on Upworthy’s Instagram continued their praise when we shared the fun clip:

We always knew The Rock is a nice guy – now we see exactly why!

Your new show “Young Rock” opens next Tuesday on NBC.
