Who knew Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was honestly such a great singer??
The actor recently got the chance to show off his vocal chops during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Dwayne took the stage to perform a duet with Kelly — and he completely held his own alongside the Grammy winner.
The duo chose to honor the late Loretta Lynn by performing her song "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'."
While the duet was definitely unexpected, Dwayne and Kelly sounded really good together:

And it turns out that the duo's country collab was actually over a year in the making.
During a virtual appearance on the show in 2021, Dwayne recounted his onetime country music ambitions when he lived in Nashville as a teenager.

"I grew up loving blues; hip-hop, of course; but then country, but real traditional country — like, that 'three chords and the truth,' steel guitar kind of country," Dwayne said.
He continued, "When I got to Nashville ... I went down there on [Broadway], and I used to hang out down there and listen to all the acts, and I did have it in my mind that I was gonna become a country music singer."
While his country music career didn't pan out, Kelly did invite Dwayne to join her for a duet next time he was on the show — and that worked out a lot better!
