“The Rock” Spotted in Clifton

By Maddy Grieco

The Garden State welcomed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in early November as the celebrity was seen in the Clifton Target.

The famous actor drew quite the crowd, as many people took videos and pictures of The Rock to share on social media.

The Rock was on his own personal mission; he visited the Clifton Target to sponsor his new business venture, Papatui, a self-care line for men that offers products ranging from body wash, facial cleanser and deodorant. Papatui can be found in Targets throughout the country.

At the Clifton Target, The Rock offered free giveaways of Paptui’s skincare products, along with other products such as TVs and toys.

He interacted with the Garden State residents, playing a game of “rock, paper, scissors” with a young fan.

Currently, The Rock is also promoting his new movie Red One, a Christmas movie also starring J.K. Simmons who plays Santa Claus. He has been on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show to publicize this film. Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, Nick Kroll and Kiernan Shipka will also be in the movie. The Rock will play Santa Claus’ bodyguard Callum Drift who works with Chris Evans, who plays Jack O’Malley, to find Santa Claus after he was kidnapped. The film will be available to view on November 14.
