The Rock Making Pancakes Will Make You Steer Your Car Directly to the Gym

If you could smell what The Rock was cooking last night, it would be a familiar scent.

Superbuff Dwayne Johnson invited his 63.1 million Instagram followers into his kitchen last night for a late-night pancake-making marathon. It turns out that someone who pulled in a reported $64.5 million last year makes pancakes not unlike the rest of us — only with all the bells and whistles we usually need to avoid lest we quickly tip the scales.

Watch the whole thing here (if for no other reason than to hear him reveal that his nickname in college was “Sweet Chocolate”) :

While wearing a tank top that showed off his bulging muscles, the Central Intelligence actor, 44, shared his recipe for “World Famous Rock Pancakes,” which he admitted are really only “world famous in my head.” He started with a box mix — Aunt Jemima Complete, a classic (just add water!) that you may have in your own cupboard. He also uses the brand’s Butter Lite syrup. Then the man with the 5,000 calorie diet also adds Nestlé Toll House Milk Chocolate Chips and Reddi-Wip. Then he makes a plate full of “fatties” that he vows to “destroy.”

Well, we certainly didn’t think he was going to call Vin Diesel over to share them!

Johnson adheres to a superstrict diet (that body!), but he’s said that pancakes are always a big part of his cheat days. His full cheating menu is: “about a dozen pancakes,” followed by “a pizza” (yes, the entire thing), topped off with a tray of “double brownies with peanut butter cookies on the inside” baked by his girlfriend.
