Dwayne Johnson’s commiseration plan

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson planned to go home and "make more babies" after ‘Moana’ failed to win at the Oscars.
The 44-year-old actor – who has daughter Simone, 14, from a past relationship, and Jasmine, 14 months, with partner Lauren Hashian – was "incredibly honoured" that his animated film was up for two awards at Sunday’s (26.02.17) Academy Awards.
And though the movie didn’t win the Animated Feature Film or Original Song prizes, Dwayne wasn’t too upset as he’d put plans in place depending on whether he was celebrating or commiserating.
Speaking in an Instagram video before the ceremony, he said: "Here we go, it is big Oscar Sunday, Academy Awards tonight. It’s our biggest night of the year, live in front of the world. We’re gonna have so much fun. I’m getting my pre-Oscar workout in right now.
"I want to say congratulations to all my buddies who’ve been nominated, so proud of you. Congrats to my studio executive buddies, their incredible movies nominated this season, such an awesome thing, and incredibly honored to be nominated twice tonight for Moana. Such a cool thing.
"I got my lucky Rock shirt on just in case we win.
"If we do win, as many of you know, I’m going straight to In-and-Out burger and I’m going to destroy burgers and fries in a celebratory victory. I’m taking cheat meals to a whole new level.
"If we lose then I’m gonna go home and make more babies. See, on Oscar night, in the world of DJ, we all win. There are no losers."
Earlier in the week, the former WWE star made his first visit to In-n-Out burger and vowed to return to the fast food chain if he won at the Oscars.
He wrote on Instagram: "I’ve never been to IN-N-OUT before (I know, what an asshole;), but when my lovely ladies @laurenhashianofficial & @simonegjohnson wanted late night grub, I happily obliged and pulled in the drive thru.
"If our Moana wins the Oscar this Sunday, I will return – in my tux and completely destroy multiple burgers and fries to celebrate. I’m talkin’ about takin’ cheat meal to another level
"Thanks guys for being so cool. And for the free ketchup.(sic)"
