The Rock Eats Candy For the First Time in 27 Years on The Tonight Show

The Rock

Few actors today are as busy as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Whether it’s starring in the Fast & Furious franchise, voicing an animated character in the upcoming Disney film Moana, or teaming up with a comedian like Kevin Hart for a summer comedy like Central Intelligence (which hits theaters today), he seems to be living life to the fullest and doing absolutely everything. However, last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, it was revealed that there’s one thing that Johnson hasn’t done in a very long time: eat candy.

As The Rock explained to Fallon last night on The Tonight Show, he’s never been a huge candy person, and when it comes to taking time off of his diet, he enjoys eating a good, fatty cheat meal instead of munching on some sugary snacks. However, it’s not that Johnson just rarely eats candy; as he told Fallon, he hadn’t a piece of candy since 1989 until last night.

That’s 27 years without any type of candy, so, of course, Fallon had to bring out quite the large selection for The Rock to choose from, which included everything from Twizzlers (the last candy Johnson had ever eaten) to a giant gummy worm that both of them had a little too much fun with. Ultimately, the two of them decided on trying Pop Rocks together, and The Rock’s reaction to eating them is pretty priceless.
