IN YOUR RANDOM news of the day, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson just came for Charlie from Busted.
You remember Busted, right? And you surely remember Charlie? Lead guitarist of aforementioned band, Busted?
OK, now that we’re all on the same page, allow us to set the scene.
The Rock was just going about his business, promoting his new movie on Twitter. As you do, says you.

The game is not over...
And I get to slap @KevinHart4real’s lips into next week. The world is once again VERY happy. #JUMANJI pic.twitter.com/2JIY7aypgp
All good so far.
And then Charlie weighed in, throwing a little shade in The Rock’s direction.
Oh dear... I wonder if it will be the second worst film ever made?? @mattjwillis

Why? We don’t quite know.
Anyway, The Rock wasn’t about to take sly digs off ol’ Chazza, and he starting throwing phrases like ‘face to face’ and ‘real men’ around.
Honest to God, had it been face to face, we wouldn’t have been surprised if the term ‘Let’s take it outside’ was flung into the mix.
Haha I have a fun idea - how bout you watch it with us and tell us your thoughts. Then we listen to your music and we’ll tell you ours. You know, face to face like real men do instead of yapping on Twitter.

When Charlie realised he may have inadvertently become embroiled in a Twitter spat with The Rock, he laid on the charm fairly sharpish.
Talk of ‘respect’ and ‘rad dudes’ took flight on Charlie’s end, as you might have expected.
Haha sorry to disappoint but I don’t do Twitter ‘beef’, it’s lame. I actually think @TheRock seems like a really rad dude. Just wasn’t a fan of the movie. Subjective opinions and all that. Respect none the less 👊

Nice save Charlie, nice save.
