STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Dwayne Johnson starred in the Disney movie "Moana." He's the demigod Maui.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "MOANA")
DWAYNE JOHNSON: (As Maui, singing) Kid, honestly, I could go on and on. I could explain every natural phenomenon.
INSKEEP: But to his 2-year-old, he's just Dad. In a video, father and daughter sing along to the movie, but she refuses to believe it's his voice on screen.
(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO)
JOHNSON: Tia...
TIA: Yeah?
JOHNSON: ...Is Daddy Maui?
TIA: No.
JOHNSON: (Laughter).
INSKEEP: He says they sang the song, give or take, about 900 times. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
