Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson likes to share the big screen with his own Moana-obsessed daughters.

The actor, 52, told E! News about his experience bringing his daughters Jasmine, 8, and Tiana, 6, on set Moana 2 to portray two characters and what it was like to see their reactions when they first heard their cameo in theaters.

Johnson, who shares his younger girls with wife Lauren Hashian, also stars in the film as the voice of the demigod Maui.

While attending the premiere in Oahu, Hawaii, the proud dad said the sisters were “on the edge of their seats” waiting to hear themselves in the film.

“They loved it,” he told the outlet. “I loved it. They hadn’t seen it before. They knew they were in it and were literally on the edge of their seats waiting.”

Their sweet response was well worth the wait, Johnson noted. “Their scene came up and they said, ‘That’s me!’ ” he remembered. “It was so cool.”

“That’s the beauty of fame,” he added jokingly, “and nepotism.”

Before sitting down to watch their family movie, Johnson walked the red carpet with Jasmine, Tiana and Hashian, as well as his eldest daughter Simone, 23, whom he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia, and his mother Ata.

In the red carpet photos, the entire crew rocked floral leis around their necks. His two youngest girls wore beautiful matching orange, pink and yellow tie-dye dresses, while his eldest wore a long, floral dress and a hanging choker.
