Something is wrong with time, everyone: 2018 appears to have just run head-first into 2004.

Remember Busted? If you're British and are aware the noughties existed, we'll automatically take you as a 'yes'.

After all, with school disco anthems such as 'Year 3000', 'What I Go To School For' and 'Air Hostess', how could you forget?

Anyway, back to modern times.

Charlie Simpson, lead guitar of Busted (who got back together in 2015) and popular school girl crush, just picked a fight with the last person anyone would want to get in a fight with.

It all started when muscle man Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson tweeted about his upcoming film Jumani 2 - and it turned out that Charlie is not a fan.

Tagged by another user in a reply to the tweet, Charlie replied with a dig about the standard of the film.

Bold move, Charlie.

Greg Rankin - the man who tagged him in a reply to the initial tweet - saw an opportunity.

He offered up his own band's album for The Rock to listen to, who then came back with a heartwarming review.

Charlie clarified that he's still a fan of The Rock, because how could you not be?

People couldn't get over the exchange.
