Jeff Goldblum And Liam Hemsworth Have Lovingly Recreated The Rock’s Fanny Pack Photo
Dreams can come true.
Has there been a greater contribution to internet meme culture than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson sporting a fanny pack sometime in the ‘90s?
Circulated in 2014 by The Rock himself with the hashtags “#90sRock”, “#WTF”, “#BuffLesbian”, it might even rival that iconic shot of Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin and Michael Jordan as the most ’90s image ever taken.

It’s also become a running gag of sorts on The Graham Norton Show. Seth Rogen recreated the look on the show a few months ago, and with The Rock appearing as a special guest this weekend, that infamous photo was bound to come up. And it did, spectacularly.
After fielding a few questions about the photo, The Rock was presented with a few fans sporting the look, including a random dude on the internet, a cute baby and Rogen himself.
And then came a special surprise:

Yep, that’s Jeff Goldblum and Liam Hemsworth – who were also guests on the show – attempting the look. While the “mom jeans”, the Rolex and the tissue were notable absentees, The Rock was still pretty impressed.
He also explained the purpose of that tissue in the photo. “What I had my arm on was very dirty so I thought, ‘I need a tissue, please, to protect the turtleneck.'” What a guy.
