Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson revealed his adorable nickname for his daughter Tiana, six, while discussing his children’s film debut in Moana 2.
The actor, 52, whose latest project debuts in theaters on Wednesday, shares the big screen with his daughters Jasmine, eight, and Tiana – whose mother is his wife Lauren Hashian.
In the film, the girls portray two members of the Moana-be fan club, with the ex-wrestler comparing his youngest child to singer Beyonce.
“Tia, our littlest, I call her T-yonce,” said the winner of the Kids Choice Award Entertainment tonightwiggling his shoulders as he explained, “She’s walking over.”
The girls also appeared on the blue carpet with their mom and dad at the film’s debut on the island of Oahu.
The on-screen tough guy seemed to have fun reprising his role as Maui, but said watching the movie with his girls was a “dream come true.”

“They were sitting like this,” he explained, demonstrating that the girls were on the edge of their seats as they experienced the animated adventure, “and also waiting for their part,” and most importantly clarifying their part. It’s the best’
“I always like to say this is the best part of fame,” the Disney star claimed.
Johnson took both Jazzy and Tia for a meet and greet with some Make-A-Wish recipients who flew to Hawaii with their families for the film’s premiere.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps grant the wishes of seriously ill children in the United States.
In a video shared on social media, Tiana asked: “And they should see you?”
“Yes,” the WWE wrestler replied.
One child even made a handmade gift for the star, presenting him with a replica of his Moana character Maui’s hook, made from clay.
“I love this,” the actor said, “Do you mind if I wear it now?”
The actor tied the chain around his neck and told the boy, “Thanks, man.”
