Dwayne Johnson Sings 'Moana' Song 'You're Welcome' for Hospitalized Toddler

In the Disney movie Moana, Dwayne Johnson plays Maui: a demigod and shapeshifter who aids the film's protagonist in saving her people. Now, Johnson has proved that like the character he plays, he truly is a hero.

The actor took to X (previously known as Twitter) on Sunday (March 24) to share a heartwarming video of himself singing his hit song from Moana, “You’re Welcome,” to a toddler named Naomi who is currently hospitalized with a brain disorder.

“Join me in a song,” Johnson captioned the video. “Naomi is 2yrs old and fighting the fight in the hospital with a brain disorder. Her wish is for Maui to send her a video of him singing ‘You’re Welcome.'”

He continued, “As we know, there’s a lot of noise and negativity out there, but I deeply believe that positive energy, light and mana can make a real difference in people’s lives – especially when it comes to our children who are struggling. Naomi I hope you smile with this song and Uncle Maui will sing ‘You’re Welcome’ anytime you need it. Thank you everyone watching this for sending your mana and positive light.”

As for other Johnson news, the actor recently returned to his wrestling roots with a surprise appearance on WWE's Raw. He's set to star in a film called Red One. Additionally, there is a sequel for Moana planned, as well as a live-action remake.
