“We took a little road trip and start singing songs ~ and I start groovin’ to one of my ALL TIME FAV songs, from one of the [kings]
“George Michael ~ ‘Kissing A Fool’. Beautifully written. Beautifully arranged. Beautifully performed, by George. Completely f**king ruined by DJ, singing confidently in keys that don’t exist.”

In his post, The Rock also referenced his own tequila brand, writing: “You should hear me sing when I’m drinking @teremana.”
When playing the voice role of Maui in the Disney film Moana, USA Today reports Johnson would take a sip of tequila while warming up his singing voice.
