Did Dwayne Johnson Steal 'The Rock' Nickname From Kevin Hart?
Kevin Hart just dropped a pretty big bombshell about his longtime friend and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle c0-star Dwayne Johnson. Turns out, he stole his famous "The Rock" moniker from Hart.
It came out while Hart was talking to TMZ this morning about getting in great shape. When asked if he has a cool nickname around the gym like "The Rock", he revealed: "It is already! I've been The Rock, you guys just didn't know that."
"He took my name," he continued, referring to Johnson. "You guys tell everybody that he took my name!"
There is, of course, a slight possibility that he was only joking: Hart and Johnson do have a lengthy history of trolling each other, after all. Johnson, in particular, has a record of roasting Hart on social media. Last November he posted a photo of his daughter riding a pony on Instagram, with the caption: "This is the same pony I teach @kevinhart4real to ride on every week as well. I'm proud of my son too."
Johnson also hilariously corrected a typo in one of Hart's posts, commenting: "Well I’m glad your movies only get bigger and better because your spelling fucking sucks. It’s not “dope as comedy” it’s “dope ass comedy”. As my son, there is no way your dumb ass came from my loins."

The "son" gag started in May 2018, when Johnson photoshopped Hart's face onto a picture of his newborn daughter, and Johnson has kept the joke going ever since. So technically, that would make "The Rock" a family name.
