The actor had posted a hilarious video on Instagram of his morning spent with his mother Ata, his wife Lauren Hashian and their two daughters, Jasmine, 8, and Tiana, 6.

The clip starts with the girls giggling as Johnson said: "This is crazy. I wake up in the morning and my toes are painted!"

"Oh dad, there's a lot more than just that!" one of Johnson's daughters says while leading her father over to their group of Elf on the Shelfs, one of which was seen holding a bottle of red nail polish.

Hashian said: "I have goosebumps," and adding, "Look, you and your mom are matching!" Ata then sweetly showed off her matching red manicure to the camera.

The family laughed at the elves' prank until Johnson did the unimaginable: touched the elf.

"Don't touch it!" both girls scream, with one explaining "it will lose its magic." Off-camera, one of the girls runs far away from her dad while yelling, "He touched the elf!"

Johnson assured his children: "Only adults can touch it," before joking, "At least they're all bigger than Kevin Hart."

In his caption, Johnson wrote, "These Christmas Elves are really getting under my skin!! And now on my toes while I was asleep — forcing me to wake up to this VERY unfunny surprise."

He added, "If I’m being honest, I think red polish actually brings out even more hyper masculinity and undeniable sexiness, no?"

"Or maybe I’m just an …. for even picking up the Elf to begin with, putting its magic in jeopardy," he continued.

"And I love you @kevinhart4real."

Johnson’s latest work is “Moana 2”, the sequel of “Moana”, which first released in 2016, is an American animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
