Even though Johnson and Kojima haven’t crossed paths, it appears that Kojima is such a big fan of “The Rock” that he even likes the film that was not well received among other Hollywood fans.

Recently, Kojima took to Twitter to showcase his fanboy moment for the Hollywood superstar. The Japanese talent was on a flight back home when he decided to play Johnson’s Black Adam on his screen to pass his time. After he was done, he decided to update Twitter about the same.

He mentioned how he was ‘moved’ by the movie. So, he decided to change his name to pay a fun tribute to the Hollywood film. Fans should note that even in his Twitter bio, Kojima calls himself a ‘bread’ lover. So, he didn’t have to think twice before changing his name to ‘Bread Adam’ for a fun tweet.

Although the Japanese wrestler confessed that he found the movie was cool not all fans thought of it that way. Even when Johnson was defending the movie after its loss, fans bombarded him.
