Dwayne Johnson has us scratching our heads over his emoji opinions

Huh?

In a random, bizarre Twitter exchange Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson revealed his unusual opinion about a certain emoji.

On Wednesday, illustrator Olly Gibbs pointed out on Twitter the similarities between the poster for the old Jumanji movie and the poster for the one for Johnson's new (really, old) movie, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Defending his movie's honor, the actor told Gibbs to see the movie first before judging, and then makes this confusing proclamation about the 🤔 emoji.

Huh?

If you're scratching your head over the opinion that the "thinking face" emoji is somehow not masculine, we're all in the same boat, except for Johnson apparently.

Taking this chance to please The Rock, Twitter user Challenger updated the emoji to make it manly enough for Johnson's liking by, of course, adding a goatee. Because men have beards and beards are manly! Yeah!

But, The Rock wasn't satisfied with this guy either, and begrudgingly backed out of his original, strange opinion.

Taking one last jab at Johnson, Gibbs fires back with a tweet that proves that Johnson might have a problem with the 🤔 emoji because it brings back some bad, pretty embarrassing memories.

Ha ha ha, oh, emoji humor. Gotta love it.

We're still wracking our brains trying to figure out why on Earth 🤔 is a "non-masculine" emoji. Is it because woman think a lot and this emoji is for them?

Either way Gibbs: 1, The Rock: 0.
