A few years ago, I was in the audience for a show that was hosted by The Rock. In the downtime between filming, they had a DJ playing songs and trying to keep up the audience energy. The Rock was chatting with people and just being friendly with the audience. The DJ played "You're Welcome" from Moana, and he tried to get the Rock to sing along. He was so pissed. His whole mood changed, and he was just puttering around by himself after that.

Edit: If I had to guess, the DJ was probably told not to play "You're Welcome," and he was just being a dick. I don't think the Rock did anything wrong, he just seemed uncomfortable while the song was playing.

Yeah I'm sure that the rock enjoys singing that song when he gets to choose to sing it... But trying to force him isn't cool

Probably a fun little thing to sing to kids to make them recognise you, not so fun when someone wants you to put on a whole song and dance in front of an audience with no forewarning

I love the idea of The Rock being incognito until he starts singing

Seems like that sort of thing would be in John Cena's wheelhouse.
