Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who has been on a strict diet consuming more than 2 pounds of cod daily, has made "history" by not eating candy since 1989, over 2 and a half decades ago.
The 44 year old star of Furious 7, appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday to promote Central Intelligence, his new movie with Kevin Hart. When quizzed by Fallon, Johnson confirmed he hadn't eaten a piece of candy since 1989. He recalled it was a Twizzler and he was at movie theater.
During the interview, Fallon asked Johnson to eat candy for the first time to make a "little history."
"Well, look, I mean, we're here. Big movie comes out tomorrow," Johnson said. "I think we bust out the Twizzlers."
So Fallon brought out Twizzlers, a Nerd Rope, Ring Pops and Giant Gummy Worm before convincing Johnson to eat Pop Rocks and hold up a microphone close to his mouth so that the audience could hear it crackling and ultimately trying it himself.
"So that's what candy tastes like. Wow it's amazing," said the Central Intelligence star after the experience.
