The internet can be a dangerous place to run one's mouth (or fingers). If it ever existed on the web, it lives on today through Google's all-seeing, time-traveling eye, placing all of your past indiscretions, LiveJournal posts, and unfortunate sartorial choices only a few keystrokes away. Dwayne Johnson—more commonly known as The Rock—was reminded of that the hard way this week.
After the first trailer for the Jumanji remake (sequel? acoustic cover?) debuted this morning, Olly Gibbs noticed that this is actually the second time that The Rock has been in a film called Welcome to the Jungle, because for some reason, 2003's The Rundown went by multiple names. Gibbs brought the observation to Twitter, tagged @TheRock, and the stage was set:
Checkmate. Like Kasparov, Gibbs gave The People's Champ just enough of an opening to move—but it was over before it began.
Fortunately, the 10-time WWE heavyweight champion has taken his fair share of bumps; The Rock was a great sport about the exchange, promising to wear something with "more blue" next time.
And as for the uncanny resemblance of "Thinking Face"—that arched eyebrow, that index-thumb placement—we have a question: Was Dwayne Johnson the secret inspiration behind the emoji all along? While we're at it: Is the face thinking about lunch, too? And why does the People's Elbow look more painful for The Rock than the victim?
