For nearly a decade, the best friend duo of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart have entertained fans. They roast each other in shows, interviews and on social media, which is their tradition as friends. However, last year we saw The Rock feeling the same vibe as other Hollywood stars. Plus, this acting star is happy to be called the next Kevin Hart.

A year ago, Extra TV’s Rachel Lindsay interviewed Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt on the red carpet at the Saturday premiere of “Jungle Cruise” at Disneyland. The host, after a fun moment between the co-stars, called Blunt “the next Kevin Hart” in DJ life. Surprisingly, the ‘A Quiet Place’ actress was flattered by the comments.

Blunt said, “You know what? You just made my day, Rachel, and by the way, I knew it. Look out Kevin (Hart), you’re out!
DJ added, “She’s also taller than Kevin (Hart).” Blunt replied “Bigger.” Lindsay added, “Shots Fired”
Johnson’s response to Blunt’s comments shows how comfortable he’s become with her, too. They became good friends while filming Jungle Cruise, but became best friends while promoting the movie.
Due to the pandemic, the release of Jungle Cruise has been delayed. Hence, the co-stars together kept fans intact with several social media posts. Later, they started appearing in several interviews in which we can see how close they became and had fun along the way, like DJ and Hart.
Nonetheless, it’s safe to say that “The Great One’s efforts to convince Blunt to sign on to Jungle Cruise have earned him a new friend.” The British actress was planning to take a break after filming two consecutive films. However, DJ and the director convinced her to sign the Disney film.
Dwayne Johnson once chose Emily Blunt over Kevin Hart
A month ago, The Rock appeared for an interview with ‘It’s Gone Viral’ where the host asked him who was the most fun on a press tour. He had options – Kevin Hart, Pierce Brosnan and Emily Blunt.
Like everyone else who watched the interview, the host also thought Johnson would cast Kevin Hart. However, the WWE legend chose his Jungle Cruise co-star, “Emily Blunt”, the name he repeated four times.

Additionally, The Rock shared the reason, “She’s drinking tequila with me on camera. We talk shit. Kevin is running second place for sure, I mean Pierce is just the OG. But when I get sick of Kevin, I just put it in a pocket. Just lay it aside.

Clearly, this show Johnson loved his time with Blunt while promoting their movie. That’s not to say DJ and Hart aren’t friends now, but the Teth Adam actor has one more to have fun while promoting movies.
