The bromance between Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart is nicely documented by this level. By all accounts, Hart and Johnson have a agency friendship, and so they’ve additionally collaborated on a number of movies. In fact, what’s the purpose of being good pals if you happen to can’t poke enjoyable at or savagely roast one another occasionally? That’s precisely what Johnson and Hart take pleasure in doing, and the general public appears to adore it as nicely. On that observe, The Rock teased his Jumanji co-star whereas discussing what it’s like working with one other collaborator, Emily Blunt.
As of late, The Rock has been selling his newest movie, the A24 drama The Smashing Machine, which reteams him along with his fellow Jungle Cruise alum Emily Blunt. The pleasant pair lately sat down with Leisure Tonight, throughout which they mentioned the movie in addition to another co-stars and tasks. Interviewer Kevin Frazier instructed Rock that “Emily is a hell of an improve over Kevin Hart.” Blunt jokingly agreed with the evaluation, earlier than the wrestler-turned-actor added:
She’s loads taller, for positive.
I imply… Dwayne Johnson’s not mistaken, as Hart is certainly a bodily diminutive actor. What has me chuckling just isn’t solely the zinger however the truth that Blunt additionally humorously joined in on the temporary roasting as nicely. You possibly can try the joke from ET’s interview, of which parts have been shared to Instagram:
This isn’t even the primary jab The Rock has taken at Hart up to now few months. In August, the Quick & Livid alum roasted Hart by enhancing the comedian’s face onto a video of an owl that was watching him from a distance. Whereas posing for a photograph with Shaq, Johnson famous that the previous NBA had him “out right here lookin’ like Kevin Hart” attributable to their huge peak distinction. For sure, Johnson has jokes, and I like how he’s simply maintaining them coming.
In fact, the Assume Like a Man star dishes out his justifiable share of barbs. At one level, he hilariously trolled a health club harm Johnson sustained (which wasn’t extreme, in fact). On one other event, Hart threw shade at Johnson by sharing a throwback picture that confirmed the WWE icon sporting a jerry curl. (Now, if that’s not a chilly method to come for somebody, then I don’t know what’s.)
Don’t let the lengthy (and downright hilarious) historical past of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart skewering one another mislead you, although. These two have talked one another up various instances through the years, and I’d think about it’s their comfortability with each other that causes them to maintain working collectively. Talking of their collaborations, the 2 could also be working collectively once more sooner relatively than later, provided that Jumanji 4 is on the best way. I personally stay up for the day on which Johnson and Hart lastly bust one another’s chops on the massive display once more.
Till then, followers will simply should accept insults being hurled backwards and forwards by means of social media or different means. Those self same individuals can even try Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in The Smashing Machine, which opens in theaters on October 3 amid the 2025 film schedule. (I stay up for listening to Kevin Hart’s tackle the movie and his pal’s efficiency in some unspecified time in the future.)
