No sexually perverted pun here, we literally mean toys. Action figures to be more specific.
Last week we couldn’t help but gush over Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s HIGHlariousness during a casual interview, but now we have a new reason to idolize him — he’s still in touch with his inner child!
In another casual interview discussing his role as Roadblock in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the former wrestler revealed his love for action figures as a child 21-year-old man!
Yes! Not only is he playing a G.I. Joe, but the Rock is not afraid to admit he played with them as a kid!
This nerdy conversation is so cute we’ll just let you read it in full. Check it out below!
OK, you’re a couple of years older than me, and I remember in 2nd grade really getting into G.I. Joe when the action figure line was released. So, were you into G.I. Joe in 4th grade? Or was that not cool in 4th grade?
“Yeah, that was cool. I thought it was cool. Look, I was playing with G.I. Joe when I was 21 and I still made that bitch cool [laughs]. No, it was cool. When I was a kid, I loved G.I. Joe.”
Other than Star Wars, it was my thing.
“I was just going to say, me too! Star Wars and G.I. Joe. Completely different worlds, but still a fun world to live vicariously through. I mean, my top figures were Boba Fett, the G.I. Joes, and Han Solo.”
Did Boba Fett ever visit the Joe camp to cause havoc?
“They all intermingled. They all turned on each other.”
That’s going to be my headline, “Boba Fett may be in the new G.I. Joe movie.”
“[Laughs] Boba Fett visits G.I. Joe! My G.I. Joes dated Princess Leia. And Chewbacca and Cobra hung out. ”
