It’s prett-ay rare that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson meets his match on social media, but that’s exactly what happened when he tangled with one Twitter user on Wednesday. Who knew that a man named Olly Gibbs, a designer at Empire Magazine, would be the one to do it though?
Wednesday night, as the first trailer for Jumanji hit the internet, Gibbs couldn’t help but notice that this is the second time The Rock has been in a film with the tagline “Welcome to the Jungle.” It seems that WAY back in 2003 Johnson’s film The Rundown was also called, for some reason, Welcome to the Jungle.
Naturally, he had to bring this to The Rock’s attention…
Now why does the new Jumanji film featuring @TheRock sound and look familiar?… 🤔 pic.twitter.com/INzwYXx3ES

After getting a look at the tweet The Rock decided to fire back in a rather non-Rock-like fashion, even scolding Gibbs for his use of an emoji, saying, “Haha buddy, juuuuust see the movie first then make the comparison. And for fucks sakes stop using the non masculine 🤔 emoji.”

Twitter beef over and done, right? The Rock has spoken. Wrong. It wasn’t even close to being over as Gibbs slayed the dragon with his response back to The Rock…
bring on the trailer tomorrow, looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun! RE: Emoji – Is this better for you?… pic.twitter.com/nX1b5HLl20

Game, set and match, Gibbs.
Even The Rock had to admit defeat…
Hahah you MF! I'm on set now and this shit got a big belly laugh outta me. Thx. Perfect. Next time I'll wear something with more blue in it

Haha amazing, glad to hear! I know you're a man of you're word so I'm looking forward to seeing this look brought back…
