Megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is well known for his blockbuster movies and uncanny ability to smell what is cooking in a wrestling ring, but on Wednesday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” we learned that his mom Ata Johnson is also a person of many talents. Johnson’s mom performed an impromptu ukulele concert and even got Johnson to help her serenade Fallon.

The Johnsons sang two songs, which was one more than Dwayne wanted to sing but Ata insisted. Both songs were about how much they adored Fallon, who was blown away by the performance.

Johnson was on the late night talk show to promote his new television series “Young Rock,” which is a comedy based on his past and future life. It premieres Tuesday, Feb. 16th on NBC.
