Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Channels Tom Hanks in Big By Playing a Giant Piano with His Feet!
January 29, 2018Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson just added another skill to his already impressive resume: playing the piano — with his feet!
The wrestler-turned-actor, 45, fulfilled his childhood dream of learning to play a song with the musical instrument… but with a twist.
“As a kid I had this dream of playing my favorite ragtime song, ‘The Entertainer’ from Marvin Hamlisch on piano. But I truly sucked at piano. Until I started using my feet,” he captioned the Instagram video shared Sunday afternoon.
The tune, written by jazz musician Scott Joplin, was popularly adapted by Hamlisch for the film classic The Sting in 1973.
“And that’s why it’s called #TheSting,” Johnson added.

After a few deep breaths and loosening up, Johnson steps on the mat that resembles piano keys. He then channels his inner Tom Hanks in Big to almost flawlessly play the tune — and only loses his balance once or twice.
When he’s done, the Moana star jokingly straightens out his t-shirt and brushes off his shoulder before sauntering away.
