Here's what TheRock learned from launching his tequila brand, Teremana, which has sold more than 300,000 cases since March.

In March, when the Covid pandemic first began, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was getting ready to launch his tequila brand, called Teremana.

During the lockdowns in the spring, off-premise liquor sales rose 34.1%, with more people drinking at home rather than in bars and restaurants, according toJohnson said he's "always been a tequila drinker," and had the idea for a tequila business for the past 10 years, but held off launching until three or four years ago when the timing felt right.

When it comes to running a liquor business, "I am learning on-the-go," he said. "Baptism by fire, I like to say." Johnson said that, while Teremana is a celebrity brand first, "this is a legacy play," he said. "Ideally, I'd like to get it to the point where the brand can live on its own without me."

TheRock Curious that a large number of celebrities all have tequila / alcohol related side hustle businesses. Clearly, there must be a company (Similar to fragrance industry) actively pitching 'branded tequila' to celebrities.

TheRock The Rock needs to layoff of the heavy drinking 🍻

TheRock Seems like every celeb has a tequila brand these days and they are all doing well. I did not know tequila is that popular. Tastes like rubbing alcohol to me.

TheRock In other words, as long as you are really FAMOUS, you can pretty much sell anything and it will take off and be a huge success. Got it.

TheRock nice

TheRock I don't get it. I've been posting my gofundme campaign about 200 times a day for days now & only 6 lovely souls helped my family. I'm trying not to lose it emotionally. But with evey tear that falls down my cheek fuels my despair. So now I try to balance my heart to the feather.

TheRock DoneWithDwayne He threw in with the evildoers. BadMove

TheRock Difference is celebrities used to be in the adverts. Now they pretend to be the founders. Clever advertising but when did getting pissed ever help a family?

TheRock good
