Dwayne Johnson brings daughters Jasmine and Tiana to visit Hawaii

Dwayne Johnson shared a heartfelt and “very emo” moment with his two youngest daughters during an “extra special” trip to Hawaii.

On Sunday, November 24, the actor, 52, posted a video Instagram of a recent experience he had with the nonprofit Make-A-Wishwhich aims to fulfill the wishes of children diagnosed with a critical illness.

Johnson took his daughters Jasmine Johnson, 8, and Tiana Johnson, 6 – who he shares with wife, Lauren Hashian – with him as he paid a special visit to five recipients of the charity.

“I try my best to never get emotional in these moments, but I get very emo looking back at these things,” he captioned the video.

The Moana star went on to say it was an “honor” to “give up wishes” for the nonprofit. He also noted that it was “extra special” that his “two little tornadoes” wanted to join him.

Johnson said he arranged transportation for the five children and their families to meet him and attend Moana 2 world premiere in Hawaii on Thursday, November 21.

“What a beautiful day to meet these kids. Their strength and resilience inspires EVERYONE around them – including me,” added the actor. “To all their mothers, fathers and siblings that I met – I feel it in every hug and handshake. I know. Stay strong.”

He ended his touching post with a shout out to his “amazing partners” at Make-A-Wish, saying these experiences are the “best part of fame.”

The video features Johnson, Jasmine and Tiana as they meet with some of the Make-A-Wish families and hear their personal stories. In it, the former wrestler also receives a few gifts from the kids, including a handmade clay necklace shaped like his Moana character Maui’s fishing hook.

Johnson also shares daughter Simone, 23, with ex-wife Dany Garcia.

The actor was joined by his three daughters and his wife at the Hawaii premiere of the film, which took place in Oahu. He posed on the red carpet with the four and his mother, Ata.

The whole crew cradled the flower around their necks on the carpet. His two younger girls wore matching orange, pink and yellow tie-dye dresses, while his eldest wore a long floral dress and a pendant choker.

Johnson hit the carpet in a light blue suit, while his wife wore an elegant dark green dress and his mother was in a black and orange patterned ensemble.

The film’s sequel reunites the titular character and Maui three years later for a new ocean-sweeping adventure. “After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the distant seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced,” according to the film’s synopsis.

Moana 2 comes to cinemas on Wednesday 27 Nov.
