Dwayne Johnson gets very hot and bothered on the Moana premiere red carpet sweating through his suit

   

He may be about to be announced as the Sexiest Man Alive but on Monday night he was just the hottest.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson paid dearly for a poor red carpet clothing choice at the premiere of Moana.

It looked like the 44-year-old was attending the event in Hawaii, where the film is set, rather than a temperate Los Angeles.

While he arrived at the famed El Capitan Theater looking ready for his close up, as soon as he got near the bright lights things went awry.

The actor quickly overheated so much so that circles of sweat formed around his pumped up pecks as he posed.

While he was dressed in a look that was perfect for the mild evening, obviously The Rock runs at a high temperature than most people.

For the Disney premiere, the former wrestler wore a light grey checked suit with a green paisley pocked square and shiny black lace-up shoes.

It was his slightly darker grey shirt that was his undoing.

Despite wearing the shirt unbuttoned, Dwayne sweated profusely and the shade meant it was immediately visible.

As he posed alone, the Ballers actor tried to hold his jacket closed but when he posed with co-star, Auli'i Cravalho, he put his arm around her back causing the jacket to come open again.

At one point Auli'l burst into laughter so perhaps Dwayne made a joke about his perspiration issues.

Also being good sports about getting sloes to the sweaty star was his daughter Simone Johnson and her pal Fifth Harmony singer Dinah Jane Hansen.

Reportedly, Dinah originally auditioned to be the voice of the title character Moana but lost out to Auli'l.

It is believed Dinah landed another role but who is not clear which character she is voicing.

In the film - which is out November 23 - Dwayne plays demi-god Maui who helps Moana try to find a fabled island.

While he was the sweatiest man on earth Monday, on Tuesday it is likely The Rock will be named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

According to Gossip Cop, the one-time wrestler - who was known for his catchphrase 'Do you know what The Rock is cooking? - is the magazine's top pick for the annual honor.

The magazine is set to announce its pick for sexiest male actor on Tuesday, but Gossip Cop beat them to the punch. 

The website asked both People and The Rock's reps to confirm but got no reply. 

Hottest man out: While he was the sweatiest man on earth Monday, on Tuesday it is likely The Rock will be named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive
