Sure, The Rock can bench 73 adult bison, and visit space by simply pushing the Earth out of his way, but can he button up the sleeve of his dress shirt?
Instagrammer Masi Popal first noticed The Great One's ongoing battle with his buttonholes, which were presumably starched by Zeus himself, but it actually goes deeper than the six images circulating in the meme.
Here's what we know so far:
The Rock has particular trouble buttoning his sleeve when in close proximity to fast cars.
But his suits, which probably cost more than your entire education, are not only a bother when driving. Here he is giving it another shot as a pedestrian.
For a while, the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment and now just Entertainment Entertainment, tried to distract by buttoning up his jacket in photos.
But, dedicated to perfection as he is, The Rock soon started beavering away on that goddamn button again.
Plot twist: Maybe he's unbuttoning his sleeve?
Nope, definitely buttoning.
This isn't a picture of The Rock trying to button his sleeve, it's a picture of The Rock holding a koala. I just thought you might like it.
And this one of him dressed as Popeye.
Have a picture of the rock throwing a 'hang loose' sign on the side of a fire truck, you deserve it.
Keep on trucking Rocky, you'll get that button. Hopefully in a main event at WrestleMania.
Key lesson: Even The Rock, who is objectively a higher quality human than all of us, doesn't know what to do with his hands sometimes.
