Fans of The One Show did a double take as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson appeared on the BBC teatime show. The Hollywood A-lister beamed as he took a seat on the famous couch alongside fellow Hollywood stars Noah Sentino and Rob Delaney.
Fans rushed to tweet their disbelief as the professional wrestler turned movie star was interviewed by Lauren Laverne and Roman Kemp. The 50-year-old star of the Jumani and Fast and Furious films was there to chat about his lead role in the new superhero film Black Adam based on the DC Comics character of the same name, and one viewer messaged into the show to say it was like 'a fever dream.'
"Seems like a fever dream who made it happen and how?" an amused Lauren read out. And The Rock laughed about their use of the term 'fever dream' saying: "That's a big deal."

Dwayne, 50, whose first film role was in The Mummy Returns in 2001, was asked if he could return to wrestling after quitting WWE full-time in 2004. Dwayne, who has since made sporadic appearances with the WWE, said: "There's always a potential because it's a business and a sport that I love."
And in an 'exclusive' Noah said he was planning to get into the ring and joked: "I intend to suplex the Rock." Asked what it was like 'keeping up' with The Rock in the gym, Noah retorted: "That's very sweet of you, keeping up." And Dwayne said: "Everyone works super hard when they come on set. These guys work their b***s off."
Other fans were distracted as they noticed that The Rock and Noah were both wearing socks without loafers. @hielandcoo asked: "#TheOneShow Superheroes don't wear socks?"@see75 asked: "Where are people’s socks? Their feet must be freezing!"
@ronan367 wondered: "What’s with the no socks look on the guests tonight? I’m really not liking the look. Stands out a mile." @WASPCommander remarked: "There are men on #TheOneShow wearing loafers without socks..."
@stamfordstu said: "The lack of socks on tonight’s #TheOneShow is quite disturbing tbh…" And @swilliams73 joked: "I’m just popping to Primark to get The Rock and Noah some socks. BRB."
Catastrophe star Rob praised Dwayne for reaching out to him with a 'sweet' message following the death of his two-year-old son Henry from a brain tumor in January 2018. The Deadpool 2 actor, who has released a new memior A Heart That Works about his painful loss, candidly told the presenters about returning to work: "If I had to stop an cry and puke I did. I didn't not laugh anymore. We still get angry, silly and have all the other emotions."
He waved away praised that he was courageous in sharing his story. "Not courageous just what other parents did for me and my wife," he said.
