During the conversation with the “People,” Johnson was asked how good he was at playing tennis by a 5-year-old girl, Stella. According to The Rock, it was by far the most excellent question asked by a little girl. But, Johnson revealed he is awful at the sport.
The Rock said, “How good can I play tennis? Tennis! Not good at all.”
