DID YOU EVER IMAGINE DURING 
THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE REALLY 
JUST WEARING A PAIR OF UNIT 
PANTS AND HITTING PEOPLE OVER 
THE HEAD WITH FOLDING CHAIRS, 
THAT ONE DAY YOU WOULD BE 
SINGING IN AN ANIMATED DISNEY 
FILM?
>> NO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.
I MEAN, LOOK.
HERE WE ARE, WE'RE ON THE SHOW, 
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, THE 
MOVIE'S GETTING READY TO COME 
OUT.
AND SO I WAS ON MY WAY TO CHINA.
THIS IS TWO AND A HALF YEARS 
AGO, ON MY WAY TO CHINA.
WITH MY AGENT, GETTING READY TO 
PROMOTE A MOVIE.
WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO ON THE
PLANE.
HE GOES, GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
HE GOES, SIT DOWN.
I'M LIKE, OKAY.
SO I SIT DOWN.
AND HE GOES, THIS JUST CAME IN.
IT'S BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 
YEARS NOW.
THEY JUST OFFERED YOU THIS ROLE 
IN DISNEY.
AND I WAS LIKE, WOW.
HE GOES, YOUR CULTURE, 
POLYNESIAN CULTURE, WHICH GOT ME
VERY EXCITED TO SHOWCASE OUR 
CULTURE.
I'M LIKE, OH, THAT'S AMAZING.
HE GOES, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
I GOT TO SAY IT RIGHT BECAUSE 
THIS IS HOW WE OPERATE, WE ROLL,
WE'RE TRUTHFUL ON THIS SHOW.
HE GOES, "YOU'RE [ BLEEP ] 
SINGING."
WELL, ALL RIGHT!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES.
LET'S DO IT.
LET'S DO IT. 
>> Jimmy: DID THEY KNOW YOU 
COULD SING GOING IN?
WERE THEY AWARE?
DID THEY CHECK FIRST?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> THEY DID, THEY DID THEIR DEEP
DIVE RESEARCH. 
>> Jimmy: THEY DID. 
>> AS ONLY DISNEY DOES.
THINK THEY HAD AN IDEA.
BECAUSE I SANG BEFORE IN THE 
PAST.
I WOULD COME ON -- PROBABLY COME
ON HERE, WE'D SING A LITTLE BIT,
SILLY, FUN STUFF.
SO I THINK THEY KNEW MAYBE I 
COULD CARRY A TUNE. 
>> Jimmy: RIGHT. 
>> SO I THINK THAT WAS ENOUGH.
THEN THEY HAD, OF COURSE, THE 
MASTERFUL LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA 
WROTE ALL OF OUR MUSIC. 
>> Jimmy: HE WAS HERE LAST WEEK 
AND HE SAID FOR THIS, THIS WAS 
LIKE HIS DREAM.
HE NAMED HIS SON "SEBASTIAN" 
AFTER THE CRAP IN "THE LITTLE 
MERMAID."
I MEAN, THAT IS -- THAT TO ME IS
PROOF THAT THIS IS HIS DREAM. 
>> THIS IS LITERALLY HIS DREAM.
BUT BY THE WAY, IT'S LIKE A 
DREAM COME TRUE FOR SO MANY OF 
US.
HIS SON SEBASTIAN WAS BORN 
DURING THE MAKING OF "MOANA."
OUR DAUGHTER JAS SIN WAS BORN 
DURING THE MAKING OF "MOANA."
>> Jimmy: HOW OLD IS SHE NOW?
>> 11 MONTHS OLD.
AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER, SIMONE, 
WHO'S 15.
HERE'S THE CRAZY THING.
EVERY TIME I SEE "MOANA," IT 
STARTS OFF WITH BABY MOANA WHO 
LOOKS JUST LIKE MY 11-MONTH-OLD 
JASMINE.
THEN SHE GROWS INTO THIS 
BEAUTIFUL 15, 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL 
WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE MY OTHER 
DAUGHTER, SIMONE.
IT'S A WHOLE -- I KNOW.
[ AUDIENCE KIM KARDASHIAN A 
WCHW W. 
>> Jimmy: YOU SHOULD SUE. 
>> I AM SUING.
>> Jimmy: YOUR 11-MONTH-OLD TOO 
IS YOUNG -- HAS SHE SEEN THE 
MOVIE?
>> SHE HASN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW IT TO HER.
SHE LOVES THE TRAILER.
SHE HEARS MY VOICE IN IT SO IT'S
A THING. 
>> Jimmy: RIGHT, YEAH. 
>> IT'S LIKE HONEY-COATED 
GRAVEL, YOU KNOW. 
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED 
SWORD.
YOU COULD GET IN A SITUATION, 
LIKE THE SONG "LET IT GO" IN 
FROZEN, KIDS LOVE YOU AND SING 
THE SONG SO MANY TIMES, OVER AND
OVER, THEIR PARENTS BEGIN TO 
WANT TO KILL YOU.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YES.
I'M WELL AWARE THAT THAT COULD 
HAPPEN, BY THE WAY, WITH THE 
SONG "YOU'RE WELCOME."
WHO KNOWS.
>> YOU'RE SHOOTING LIVE-ACTION 
MOVIE "JUMANJI," A NEW VERSION, 
IN HAWAII RIGHT NOW. 
>> YES, YES. 
>> Jimmy: AS YOU MENTIONED, 
THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE FROM.
WHAT IS IT LIKE SHOOTING IN THE 
PLACE YOU GREW UP?
>> IT'S -- FIRST OF ALL, IT'S 
AWESOME.
RIGHT?
IT'S AWESOME.
IT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD, 
RIGHT?
THERE'S A SIDE A AND ON SIDE B. 
>> Jimmy: TELL US ABOUT THE SIDE
B, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT SIDE A, 
WE WANT TO HEAR THE BAD PARTS. 
>> THE BAD PART IS YOU GO BACK 
TO HAWAII.
FIRST ALL THE LOCALS -- I JUST 
HAVE TO SAY BRINGING A MOVIE OF 
THIS SIZE AND MAGNITUDE, THE 
JOBS IT CREATES FOR THE 
HARD-WORKING LOCALS, THAT'S 
AMAZING. 
>> Jimmy: IT'S GREAT. 
>> THAT'S THE A-SIDE.
THE B-SIDE IS AFTER EVERY DAY WE
WRAP, THERE'S FANS ALWAYS 
WAITING, THERE'S INEVITABLY MORE
COUSINS.
I JUST GOT MORE COUSINS. 
>> Jimmy: YOU DID?
>> GUY OUT, MY LOGISTICS GUYS 
WILL SAY, HEY, LISTEN, THERE'S 
TWO, THREE FAMILIES, YOU LOOK 
OVER THERE, THERE'S 20 PEOPLE 
ALL HOLDING THINGS AND BABIES 
AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF WAITING 
FOR ME TO SIGN.
WHO THAT IS?
THAT'S YOUR COUSIN FROM YOUR 
GRANDFATHER'S SIDE TEN TIMES 
REMOVED.
I'M LIKE, I DON'T HAVE THAT, NO,
THEY'RE WHITE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
I'M LIKE, OKAY.
MAYBE.
BUT THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE TO 
THAT. 
>> Jimmy: YEAH, RIGHT. 
>> THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU 
GO TO HAWAII. 
>> Jimmy: THERE'S AN ISLAND, 
THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO, EVERYBODY
BECOMES COUSINS EVENTUALLY, 
RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH.
EVENTUALLY, YES.
WE ALL BECOME COUSINS. 
>> Jimmy: HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE 
PLACES YOU USED TO HANG OUT WHEN
YOU GREW UP?
THOSE LIKE SPOTS?
>> YEAH, SO I HAVE BEEN -- I'M 
SURE I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH 
YOU A FEW TIMES.
GROWING UP AS A TEENAGER IN 
HAWAII, I USED TO GET IN TROUBLE
A LOT, DOING THINGS I SHOULDN'T 
HAVE BEEN DOING, ARRESTED 
MULTIPLE TIMES.
SO I USED TO -- SO THE ANSWER IS
YES.
SO I FELT LIKE I NEED TO REDEEM 
MYSELF.
I WENT BACK TO HAWAII.
I HAD MY 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER 
SIMONE.
HONEY, IT'S SUNDAY, IT'S OUR DAY
OFF, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ALL 
THESE PLACES THAT I DID BAD 
THINGS.
I'VE GOT TO REDEEM MYSELF. 
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MOVIE RIGHT 
OFF THE BAT. 
>> I KNOW.
WE'RE AT LEAST GOING TO DRIVE 
BY.
I TOLD HER STORIES.
BASICALLY IT'S LIKE THERE'S THE 
LESSONS HERE.
SO HERE'S WHERE YOUR DAD, THIS 
PARTICULAR THING HAPPENED.
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
SEEMS LIKE A TERRIBLE IDEA.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT 
IDEA.
AT THE TIME.
>> Jimmy: YOU GOT TO CALL ME 
BEFORE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF 
THESE IDEAS. 
>> I'LL CALL YOU NEXT TIME.
ALL THE PLACES I DID BAD 
[ BLEEP ]. 
>> Jimmy: THIS IS DADDY'S 
FAVORITE CRACKHOUSE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> OH MY GOD. 
>> Jimmy: NOT THAT BAD?
>> IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY CRACK.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO I USED TO WALK TO THE GYM 
WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN.
FIVE MILES.
>> Jimmy: WOW. 
>> EVERYBODY SAYS, YOU WALKED 
FIVE MILES?
I LITERALLY HAD TO WALK FIVE 
MILES TO THE GYM.
MIDWAY POINT TO THE GYM IS A 
7-ELEVEN.
I USED TO STOP AT THIS 7-ELEVEN.
I SWEAR TO GOD, EVERY DAY.
I USED TO STEAL A KING-SIZE 
SNICKERS BAR. 
>> Jimmy: EVERY DAY?
>> FOR ENERGY IS.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY, RIGHT?
SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.
I TOOK EVERY DAY, FOR ENERGY, 
KING-SIZED SNICKER BAR. 
>> Jimmy: WOW. 
>> I TOLD MY DAUGHTER, I SAID, 
WHAT IF WE WENT, LET'S GO BACK 
TO THE 7-ELEVEN, LET'S GO IN 
THERE, LET'S GRAB A KING-SIZED 
SNICKERS.
LET ME PUT $500 DOWN AND JUST 
SAY, "HERE, THANK YOU."
THEN GO.
SHE'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT, THAT'S 
KIND OF COOL, LET'S GO DO THAT.
WE PULL UP.
SHE'S LIKE, IS THAT -- AND I 
LOOK.
IS THAT?
YEAH.
I THINK SHE'S SHOOTING UP DRUGS 
RIGHT THERE, HM, OH.
I THINK RIGHT THERE.
IT'S SO SKETCHY NOW.
THIS PLACE.
SO WE DID NOT GO IN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S GOOD.
THIS IS SOME LESSON YOU TAUGHT 
YOUR DAUGHTER.
>> COME ON, HONEY!
?
>> Jimmy: WE'RE GOING TO MAKE 
THIS RIGHT -- ON SECOND THOUGHT,
WE'RE LEAVING. 
>> AND WE LEFT. 
>> Jimmy: YOU WOULD GO IN AND 
THESE MUST HAVE BEEN THE 
LEAST-OBSERVANT 7-ELEVEN 
CASHIERS OF ALL-TIME.
>> YES. 
>> Jimmy: THIS GIANT BOY COMES 
IN EVERY DAY.
MAYBE THEY WERE TOO SCARED TO 
SAY ANYTHING. 
>> I HAD PIMPLES ALL OVER MY 
FACE BECAUSE I ATE A SNICKERS 
BAR EVERY DAY, SUGAR.
I HAD AFRO, AN AFRO.
FIRST OF ALL, SAME PERSON, 
EMPLOYEE, EVERY DAY.
SAME SHIFT.
EVERY DAY.
I GUESS IT'S KIND OF LIKE, IT'S 
A LITTLE LOCO.
HEY.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU BUY ANYTHING?
PURCHASE ANYTHING?
OR JUST GO IN THERE, TAKE THE 
SNICKERS BAR, AND LEAVE?
>> NO, I HAD NO MONEY, THERE WAS
NO RUSE.
IT WASN'T A SOPHISTICATED MODEL 
I WAS WORKING WITH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HEY!
>> Jimmy: INSIDE THE CRIMINAL 
MIND OF DWAYNE JOHNSON, WOW. 
>> IT WAS JUST THAT.
ONE DAY I LIVE TO COME BACK.
IF NOT THAT ONE, A 7-ELEVEN. 
>> Jimmy: A DIFFERENT 7-ELEVEN. 
>> THIS IS BACK BEFORE I BECAME 
WHO I AM TODAY. 
>> Jimmy: THE AFI FILM FESTIVAL 
IS GOING ON ACROSS THE STREET 
FROM US. 
>> YES.
YES, IT IS. 
>> Jimmy: THIS IS THE PREMIERE 
OF "MOANA," WORLD PREMIERE. 
>> IT IS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF 
"MOANA."
THERE'S MONTHS AND MONTHS OF 
PLANNING THAT GO INTO THIS, 
RIGHT?
THESE PREMIERES.
TONIGHT THIS IS ONE OF THE 
BIGGEST PREMIERES IN HOLLYWOOD 
EVER.
OF ALL-TIME.
ALL OF HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD IS 
SHUT DOWN. 
>> Jimmy: THAT'S TRUE. 
>> FOR THIS PREMIERE. 
>> Jimmy: IT'S A NIGHTMARE. 
>> THERE'S GOING TO BE A SPECIAL
PERFORMANCE OUTSIDE ON STAGE.
SO WE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A
GOOD IDEA TO BRING ALL OF YOU 
WITH US.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT WILL BE FUN, 
RIGHT?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
