Johnson’s joke about his hidden talent came after he shared what he would do at “a party for little kids,” which is of course much different and, in fact, involves his iconicMoanacharacter, Maui.

“I could transform into Maui. They all start to gather ‘round,” he said, singing a line as Maui from the movie’s popular song"You’re Welcome”: “I know it’s a lot, the hair, the bod, when you’re staring at a demigod!”

“I make my pecs bounce, and the kids go crazy. It’s awesome!” Johnson added, demonstrating the move.

As for Cravalho, 23, “belting out a showtune likethatand sounding damn good” is one party trick she hasup her “theater-girlie"sleeve.

“I’m also incredibly limber,” she continued as she stretched her wrists — which let out a crack, leading the actress and singer to quip, “That sounded worse than it was!”
