Bretman Rock tells Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson he was named after him

Bretman Rock finally got to tell Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson the story behind his name.

In an interview uploaded on Bretman’s TikTok, the social media star shared that his wrestling fan of a father named him after two iconic wrestlers: Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

“My dad and his twin brother — they were really obsessed with wrestling. And they were like, we should name him Bretman Rock. And it's from Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart and you. So I was named after you,” Bretman said.

A visibly surprised Dwayne responded, “No way. What? You're doing so good, man. You're kicking ass. You have a gazillion followers. It's just amazing. And I did not know that.”

According to Bretman, he had been waiting decades for the moment.

“I waited 27 years to tell you that. I mean, thanks to you, I had to do all the sports in the world. Because my dad really was convinced that he had the next Rock. So I did football, baseball, track. None of them stuck. And I just came out like this," Bretman said.

"I mean, The Rocks are always famous. I feel like all The Rocks are always sexy. So, period. I'm glad my dad knew what he was doing,” he continued.

The pair bonded over their love for Hawaii, reminiscing about favorite local spots, Dwayne’s childhood memories, and the upcoming live-action "Moana."

Bretman was in the Philippines in May for a quick stop.

Meanwhile, Dwayne stars in “Moana” as Maui. Catherine Laga'aia plays Moana in the movie.

The film will hit Philippine theaters on July 10.
