The Rock loves Baby Yoda like a son.

In case you missed it, Baby Yoda is a part of the Disney + show “The Mandalorian,” and has won the hearts of everyone who’s seen his adorable baby face, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

While promoting his upcoming release, “Jumanji: The Next Level,” The Rock took to Instagram to post a picture of himself cradling Baby Yoda in his arms as if he were his own child. In fact, the picture is an edited version of a 2018 photo when his youngest daughter was born.

“Thank you all so much for your well wishes, love & support. Can’t wait to bring this little nugget home to meet his brother @KevinHart4real.”

He even hashtagged #iamyourfather, in reference to the famous Star Wars line, “Luke, I am your father.”

The two have long been trolling each other on social media. In October, Hart dressed up as his frequent costar, wearing a black turtleneck, gold chain, jeans and a fanny pack, meant to resemble Johnson in the ’90s.

Hart also used it for a little promo, adding “We are dropping a brand new trailer for Jumanji: The Next Level tomorrow. Stay tuned!!!!!!”

The “Jumanji” sequel, which also stars Jack Black, Karen Gillan and Nick Jonas. It’s set for release on December 13.
