‘They were sitting like this,’ he explained, showing that the girls were at the ends of their seats as they watched the animated adventure, ‘and waiting for their part too,’ clarifying ‘mostly their part.’ It’s the best’
“I always like to say that it’s the best part of fame,” said the Disney star.
Johnson brought Jazzy and Tia with him to meet and greet some Make-A-Wish recipients who had flown to Hawaii with their families for the movie premiere.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps grant the wishes of seriously ill children in the United States.
In a video shared on social media, Tiana asked: ‘And they’re supposed to see you?’
‘Yes,’ the WWE wrestler responded.
One child even made a handmade gift for the star and gave him a replica of his Moana character Maui’s hook made of clay.
“I love this,” the actor gushed. “Do you mind if I use it now?”
The actor tied the necklace around his neck and told the boy, ‘Thanks, man.’
