Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson dressed up as a Pokemon for his daughter

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson spent Easter Sunday dressed up as Pikachu.

The 44-year-old wrestler turned actor's 16-month-old daughter Jasmine - who he has with his partner Lauren Hashian - is clearly a huge fan of Pokemon as her father shared a video of himself in a costume of the manga character from the animated series chasing his little girl around the house.

The Baywatch star was left exhausted as he didn't think about the fact his daughter can walk about now and he ended up running around with her for two hours.

Alongside the clip posted on Instagram, he wrote: "The first time Jasmine's favourite character, Pikachu came to visit her months ago she was only crawling.

"For Easter Sunday @laurenhashianofficial and I thought, Pikachu should make a special visit once again. Well, Pikachu didn't account for the fact that now Jazzy RUNS and for 2hrs straight she wants to play her new favourite game, 'I run away and you chase me Pikachu. And you're not allowed to take a break until I go night night. (sic)'"

In the video, Dwayne can be heard muttering "this is crazy" without the head to the costume on, but he soon had to put it back on when Jasmine shouted, 'Peekyu'.

Dwayne had the family's dog, Hobbs, trying to wee up his leg in the costume, but didn't bother him too much as he said he would do anything for his children.

He added to the photo-sharing app: "I'm tired, today's my only day off, it's 118 degrees in this costume and Hobbs [the family's French bulldog] keep trying to p*** on my leg. And I luv every minute of it.

Bring it on. It's what daddy's do. (sic)"
