Bretman Rock 'waited 27 years' to tell Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson he was named after him

Bretman Rock and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson finally meet.

During an interview for the promotion of Moana, the live-action movie, Bretman, who was born in the Philippines and raised in Hawaii, shared the story behind his name, saying that father, a big wrestling fan, named him after the WWE wrestlers Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

“My dad and his twin brother, my uncle... they were really obsessed with wrestling. And they were like, we should name him Bretman Rock. And it's from Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart and you. So I was named after you,” Bretman told Johnson.

Johnson responded, “No way. What? You're doing so good, man. You're kicking ass. You have a gazillion followers. It's just amazing. And I did not know that.”

All smiles, Bretman said he had been waiting for years to tell the actor about it.

“I waited 27 years to tell you that," he told the actor.

"I mean, thanks to you, I had to do all the sports in the world. Because my dad really was convinced that he had the next Rock. So I did football, baseball, track. None of them stuck. And I just came out like this," said Bretman as photos of him doing sports flashed in the video.

"I mean, The Rocks are always famous. I feel like all The Rocks are always sexy. So, period. I'm glad my dad knew what he was doing,” he continued.

In the video, Bretman also shared how the film Moana resonated with him having been raised by his own grandmother.

"I really love the fact that Moana loves her grandma so much. Me being rasied by my grandmother, that really hit me," said the content creator.

To which Johnson replied, "I did not know that. In a lot of ways, my grandmother stepped in when we were having some challenging times here in Hawaii. And just those grandma values. I also love in our film that we are just so deeply proud of our culture and wanting to make sure that our Polynesian cultures are properly represented."

In an Instagram post, Bretman shared snaps from the interview, writing, "Rock ². My Parents are not gonna believe this one. After years of shooting my shot in the DMs."
