The Rock sings to daughter every night

Dwayne Johnson, the Rock took to social media to share an adorable video of his daughter Tiana Gia.

“And for the 1,927th time I will sing ‘You’re Welcome’ to baby Tia as part of our nightly daddy/daughter negotiation to go to bed! It. Never. Ends.” he wrote, referring to the Disney film Moana, in which he plays demigod Maui.

“But truth is, spending all this time at home with my ladies has been a real silver lining blessing in this craziness we’re all experiencing,” The Rock added.

The best part? The tot still has no idea that her dad plays Maui.

In a previous video uploaded to Instagram, Johnson is shown in the bathroom with his toddler, and they show off their hand-washing to the tune of Maui’s “rap portion” of Moana’s “You’re Welcome.”
