In an interview promoting his new animated film, DC League of Super-Pets, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he'd like to be a pet for rapper Megan Thee Stallion .
Johnson voices Kypto, Superman's pet dog, and his co-star, comedian Kevin Hart, voices shelter dog Ace in the new superhero comedy film in which the two canines team up with other animals to rescue superheroes captured by super villain Lex Luther.
The star of the Fast & Furious franchise posted a clip of his interview alongside Hart.
He said of his "brotha":
"Over the years with the movies we’ve done together and the thousands of interviews we’ve done together–we just love f'king with each other and we always make sure we’re having the BEST TIME and it never ends."
Their jocular kinship was evident in the interview as the two ribbed each other and cracked up throughout.
When Johnson was asked which celebrity he would like to be a pet for, he answered—without hesitation—Megan Thee Stallion.
When asked to elaborate on his answer, Johnson replied, "We don't have to talk about that."
Hart, who was visibly amused by his buddy's response, said his celebrity pick to be a pet for was two-time Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington.
Johnson referenced their hypothetical owners in the post's caption, writing:
"Shout to our fam @theestallion & Denzel Washington 😉👊🏾"
What had Twitter yipping about most was Johnson's desire to be the rapper's loyal companion.
Many fans imagined what his relationship with Stallion would be like if he were her dog.
