The Internet never forgets. And for Dwayne Johnson that is an unfortunate fact that he learned on Halloween. In July the Internet nearly broke when an old school glamour photo of Dwayne Johnson appeared. The Rock was delightfully decked out in a black turtleneck, fanny pack and a fake TAG Heuer watch that had 1994 written all over it. Despite the fantastically embarrassing photo being leaked months ago, it didn’t stop people from using Halloween as an opportunity to pay homage to The Rock and his J. Crew inspired threads.
Johnson shared an article that listed the top Halloween costumes of 2014 which included his spectacular throwback glamour shot on his Instagram.
I’m happy my days of being a #90sRock aka #BuffLesbian has made its way into pop culture… Happy Halloween everyone.. have fun and above all else… #RockTheTurtleneck #RockThePimpLean And rock that muthaf*ckin fanny pack!
Then The Rock embraced the many people who dressed as his regretful 90’s self with fanny pack and all.
