Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was a special guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, and the wrestler-turned-actor joined the show's host for a skit about two guys at a prom dealing with Carrie-level embarrassment.

Johnson and Fallon played the "Ermahgerd Prom Guys," two average teens on prom night who turn comically and painfully awkward whenever they're around women. Their attempts to make small talk, flirt, and dance go horrifically wrong until the end, when they ditch the idea of female companionship and bust some moves by themselves. Johnson even gets into some b-boy-inspired work, though he's no Vin Diesel.

Reaction to the skit on social media was positive. Even Saturday Night Live's Jay Pharoah chimed in.

Johnson appeared on the show to promote his new movie Central Intelligence, which opens on Friday. The film is receiving mixed reviews from critics, but is estimated to be on track for a $34 million opening weekend, second only to Finding Dory.

The film's co-star, Kevin Hart, has had a rough few days. Over the weekend, his house was robbed of $500,000 worth of jewelry and clothes while he was out of town promoting his new sneaker.
