Dwayne Johnson Sings "You’re Welcome" From "Moana" While Washing Baby’s Hands

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson teaches his 1-year-old daughter the importance of hand-washing by singing his song "You're Welcome" from "Moana."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is using his role as Maui in Moana, to show his baby girl how to make washing your hands properly a fun activity, by singing his song, "You're Welcome," from the 2016 Disney film. Since he began acting, The Rock has starred in a number of blockbuster movies, but his role as the demigod Maui in Moana seems to be his 1-year-old's favourite.

On Thursday, the former pro wrestler shared a video on Instagram indicating that his youngest daughter, Tia, "demands" that he sings the rap portion of the song, "You're Welcome," from the Disney movie before he takes a shower. The Rock has taken to washing her hands while rapping the roughly 20 second verse because, "we realized a few weeks ago that the rap portion of the song is perfect timing when getting your little ones to have fun washing their hands." As the coronavirus persists, experts advise everyone to wash their hands properly for at least 20 seconds to help prevent spreading the virus to others.

While The Rock is singing to Tia, he asks her to join in at certain times. The video is too cute, and definitely a good learning exercise for little ones about how important it is to wash your hands properly.

Hugh Jackman Apologizes For Coronavirus Hand-Washing Faux Pas

Hugh Jackman issued an apology after he got heat for leaving the tap running while he was demonstrating how to wash your hands to ward off coronavirus.

Hugh Jackman is terribly sorry for leaving the tap running for a full 20 seconds while he was giving a "tutorial" of sorts on how to properly wash your hands so as not to contract coronavirus. The actor certainly had good intentions when he shared a video of himself thoroughly scrubbing his paws to the chorus of Doja Cat's hit song, "Say So," made popular by the viral TikTok dance challenge.

However, his attempt at spreading awareness (and, subsequently, not spreading coronavirus) about the correct techniques for effectively washing your hands soon turned into a controversy when the Internet bashed him for unnecessarily leaving the water running for the whole 20 second lathering period. While Hugh has since deleted the clip, it was saved and shared by a fan on Twitter, who didn't seem to have an issue with Hugh's water-wasting errors.

"Hugh Jackman washing his hands to ‘Say So’ by Doja Cat to brighten your day," the user tweeted. Unfortunately, it did quite the opposite for many people, and Hugh decided to give his hand-washing demo another shot. He returned to Twitter for round two, this time remembering to turn the tap off.

"You’re all absolutely right," he wrote on the post. "Turn off the tap whilst washing your hands. Smart, healthy practices for you ... and the planet." In the new-and-improved clip, Hugh even thanks everyone for calling him out. What a good sport.
