Dwayne Johnson jokingly says he has 'a lot of guns' in his car while being stopped by security
The Rock even admitted that it was an 'absolutely horrible joke'.
Despite playing DC anti-hero Black Adam, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is rarely in trouble in real-life.
However, the 50-year-old actor nearly landed himself in hot water after making a risky joke about guns at security checkpoint outside of an American football stadium.
Johnson even caught the moment on camera, with the video going viral on Tik Tok with nearly three million views since it was uploaded this week.

The Jumanji actor even admitted that it was an ‘absolutely horrible joke’, as he passed through security on his way to watch the XFL Championship game.
Pulling up in his massive SUV, Johnson rolls down his window as an officer approaches the car and asked him to park up for a security check.
"Can you please do me a favor and put in park for me and make sure the doors are unlocked?" asked the officer.
After a brief pause, The Rock says: “I can. I got a lot of guns in here,".
Struggling to contain his laughter, he points to his massive biceps and says: “These kind”.
Thankfully, all was forgiven by the security officer, despite how bad the joke was.
Even Johnson had to admit it was a pretty bad one liner.
He teased the guard, saying: “There's always room for a cheesy joke, I know. You're welcome".
However, he later thanked the officer and the rest of the security team in a heart-warming caption which he posted alongside the TikTok video.
“Absolutely horrible joke, but impeccable timing. You’re welcome," he wrote, adding: "XFL game day rollin’ up to the stadium. All love, gratitude and respect for our men and women keeping us all safe.”
The actor had a good reason to be grateful, as it was the second XFL Championship game under his management after he bought the league for an estimated $15 million (£12.5m).
Along with his business partner Dany Garcia and Redbird Capital, the actor saved the American football tournament from bankruptcy during the pandemic.
The Black Adam actor will now be focusing his attention on the league, as the DC universe continues without him.
It was announced last December that future film starring the character would be shelved, as studio executive James Gunn announced a massive shake up of the franchise.
After the announcement, Johnson said that he had been very proud of the film, which had been 15 years in the making.
