The Rock Just Had Candy For The First Time Since The ’80s [WATCH]

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is known for his killer diets, and even his insane cheat meals, but one thing he doesn’t indulge in, is candy.

The Central Intelligence star went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, talked about how he’s never really been a candy person, and said the last time he had one was back in 1989, when he enjoyed a Twizzler at the movie theater.

Of course, with this information, host Jimmy Fallon baited The Rock into taking his first bite of candy in 27 years. Fallon pulled out some Pop Rocks, Twizzlers, Ring Pops, Nerds Rope, and even a giant phallic gummy worm.

Ultimately, Jimmy sensually poured some Pop Rocks in the Rock’s mouth and he responded with, “So that’s what candy tastes like. Wow, that’s amazing. It’s great.”

Hopefully, this doesn’t lead The Rock down a dark, Lamar Odom-like path where he can’t stop binging on candy and it ruins his life. Nah, The Rock has some pretty good discipline, as is apparent by, well, everything in his life.
