Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson<\/strong><\/a> is seeing the funny side after an influencer was left scratching her head over the star’s latest product endorsement.<\/p>\n

Taking to TikTok<\/a> on Tuesday, June 2, influencer Katy Napier<\/strong> (@happyyellowco) shared a video of herself coming across the Jumanji<\/em> actor’s personal care brand Papatui.<\/p>\n

In the footage, which subsequently went viral with more than five million likes, Napier showed the products as well as an ad of Johnson, 54, which featured his bald head.<\/p>\n

“Don’t give up on your dreams,” Napier said in the clip. “The Rock is selling shampoo and conditioner, and he’s bald.”<\/p>\n

Text overlaying the video doubled down on the sentiment. It read, “Go for it.”<\/p>\n

Two days later, Johnson humorously clapped back with a video response posted via his social media accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johnson stitched Napier’s video with a clip of himself wearing his long locks in character as Maui for the live-action Moana<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

“Ok this made me belly laugh.. HARD \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffe \ud83e\udd1c\ud83c\udffe\ud83e\udd1b\ud83c\udffb,” Johnson captioned the post. “And hey, sometimes a Demigod’s radiant and ravishing hair needs shampoo\/conditioner \ud83d\ude1c\ud83e\ude9d You’re Welcooooome \ud83c\udfb6Love ~ Maui \ud83e\ude9d”<\/p>\n

Proving there are no hard feelings, Johnson added, “Ps ~ I got a little gift coming your way, @happyyellowco \ud83d\ude09\ud83e\udd42.”<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time Johnson’s Papatui brand has raised eyebrows with shoppers.<\/p>\n

When the brand launched<\/a> in March 2024, some people made similar jokes about buying shampoo and conditioner promoted by a bald man.<\/p>\n

“Boy, this man has no business in the shampoo department,” one puzzled TikTok user joked at the time, while another quipped, “I’m not gonna buy shampoo from a hairless man!”<\/p>\n

Speaking to GQ<\/em>, Johnson revealed that he decided to launch the personal care brand after years of being asked about his skincare routine.<\/p>\n

“The interaction is always the same when it comes to [asking about my skin routine],” Johnson told the outlet at the time. “They start looking around like, \u2018Hey, can I ask you: What do you do?’ I wanted to get guys in the space of being comfortable owning our skin care and our self-care because we like to think – we try our best, by the way – to own all these other areas.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I’m certainly no expert, but I’ve been lucky enough to have access to some of the best.”<\/p>\n

The former WWE wrestler has also never been one to shy away from joking about his lack of hair.<\/p>\n

In April 2017, Johnson joked via X, “I’m not bald because I went bald. I’m bald because my hair is a cross between an afro and hair from a Lama’s ball sac.”<\/p>\n
