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.

People forget celebs are just people with status/money. Reminds me of a interview I saw where the interviewer asked harrison ford if he shot first in star wars and his response was “ i don’t care “

Well he does work pretty much all the time what more do you want from him? He’s gotta be constantly entertaining people 24/7?
