Dwayne Johnson attends the 'Skyscraper' New York Premiere at AMC Loews Lincoln Square on July 10, 2018 in New York City.

The Rock reveals how the collision of tequila and crazy ideas turned into "Titan Games."

Dwayne Johnson has been on a serious grind throughout the year. He starred in numerous films and even teased the idea of running for president in 2020. While it's unsure if the latter will actually happen, his 2019 schedule already seems packed enough without campaigning. On Jan. 3rd, he'll be launching his new athletic competition on NBC, Titan Games. The trailer for the show was recently released, but he took to Instagram to explain how liquor helped him concoct the show's concept.
