Dwayne Johnsonloves making his little girls laugh — even if it’s at his own expense.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the New York premiere of his upcoming DC filmBlack Adam, the 50-year-old actor teases that his “superpower” as a dad is that he continues to fall for the pranks his daughters pull on him at home.

“My superpower as a dad is the ability to not figure out why I keep falling for the ‘Daddy close your eyes’ trick and I get peanut butter in the face, my face drawn on, kicked in the nuts,” he jokes. “Everything happens, that’s my superpower.”

Despite being pranked numerous times, Johnson admits he still isn’t in on the joke.

“I’m a fool,” he says. “I don’t understand why I don’t get it.”
