Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson discussed his ‘90s throwback photo with Jimmy Fallon

Finally we know what was in the fanny pack.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson went on The Tonight Show and talked to Jimmy Fallon about the photo that took the Internet by storm; a simple glamour shot of the actor and wrestler wearing a fashion-forward turtleneck, leaning on a wall and wearing a fanny pack.

Fallon ensured all our hard-hitting questions were answered:

  1. What was in the fanny pack? “Pop Tarts and condoms.”
  2. What was the deal with the paper towel? “It was a tissue, and it kept the turtleneck clean.”
  3. Is there a story behind the watch? “It was a fake Tag Heuer.”

Dwayne played it off well and was a good sport. Now the Internet needs to convince him to reenact it.
