Dwayne Johnson Brings All 3 Daughters to ‘Moana’ Premiere

It was everything, man. Sharing this experience with my mom and my daughters, it's generational. Dwayne The Rock Johnson turned the Moana premiere into a family affair. On Tuesday, July 7th, the actor hit the red carpet in Los Angeles for the world premiere of the blockbuster's live-action adaptation, where he was joined by all three of his daughters, 24-year-old Simone, 10-year-old Jasmine, and 8-year-old Tiana. The WWE star shares Simone with ex-wife and producing partner Danny Garcia, who was also in attendance alongside husband Dave Renzi. Simone was additionally joined by her girlfriend, Tatiana Dumas. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old shares both Jasmine and Tiana with wife Lauren Hashian. Lauren and Dwayne additionally posed together on the carpet and took some photos with their girls. Plus, the professional wrestler was joined by his mom, Atta, and the whole family smiled for pictures together. During the premiere, the actor, who plays Maui, performed a Polynesian dance on stage at the Hollywood Bowl with Catherine Langa'aia. He chatted afterwards with Access Hollywood and shared what it meant for him to take the stage before reacting to his family-making cameos in the latest installment. Not only are you bringing a beloved character to life, but you're doing an excellent job representing the Polynesian culture in a way that we usually don't even see. What did it mean for you today to take the stage and put on the performance? It meant the world to take the stage like that, but also showcase our Polynesian culture, I think, in this way. It's the biggest platform in the world. It's theatrical. It's global. So it really meant everything. But also, this is a character that was in Maui that I play in the film, inspired by my grandfather. But also, man, the fact that we can get up on stage, showcase our culture in that way with Tiana Nonesina and the Nonesina dancers. But also, you know, what we performed, that's why I'm dressed like this, is at the end, is that is our cultural way of saying, this is who we are. And with all our pride, with all our humility, too, as well. And I love that. And it was a very special night. It was. This role has so much action and also dancing and singing. How is it unlike anything you've ever done so far? And what was the biggest challenge? I've never done anything like this before. The biggest challenge for sure was, I think, the combination, the trifecta of dancing, of singing, of acting, all at the same time in a lot of these moments. Like, for example, singing You're Welcome, written by the great Lin-Manuel Miranda. So that was a challenge. But also, the other challenge was making sure, because the animated film was so beloved, that if we're going to do live action, you got to bring it. And you have to make it phenomenal. And you have to make it beautiful and sweeping and all these things. And I think we did that. Even more special is that you did it with your family. It was a real family affair. Your daughters and your mom made a cameo in the film, right? How special was it sharing this experience with them? It was everything, man. Sharing this experience with my mom and my daughters, it's generational. I went to our director, Tommy Kail, and I said, hey man, I know what this sounds like. But is there anything from my mom and daughters? It's generational. And I said, I know it sounds like nepotism, and I get it. But also, life-lifes and our elders move on. And they walk into the clouds. And I said, if I can have a moment where I can capture my grandmother, I'm sorry, my mom and her granddaughters, just for a moment. No dialogue, just that thing. And he said, absolutely. And that's what you see, man. And so it was very special to me. And I'm excited for audiences to see it. And I have to ask, you pull off the hair perfectly. How long did it take you to get used to it? And would you ever consider growing it out again for real? I would consider growing it out, but it takes too much time. And I have project after project. That's the problem. And so now it's like, oh, let me get the best wig maker. But I love the hair in the movie. And Maui, that's part of Maui's superpower, which is his hair. And I loved it. I loved having hair in the movie. And maybe one day. Thank you, man.
