‘We got those calls’: Disney once warned Dwayne Johnson to tone it down with a female co-star in an unexpected turn of events

Dwayne Johnson is the most comfortable actor to work with in Hollywood. There are actors who said how fun it was to work with The Rock during filming, as he loves to make his co-stars laugh. Plus, it’s fun to see DJs and co-stars promoting the movie too.

However, once Johnson revealed that Disney issued a warning against him and a major Hollywood actress for joking around with each other too much.

Dwayne Johnson told Vanity Fair that he and Emily Blunt were on target at Disney for joking too much. It all started when, in an interview, the host asked DJ and Blunt what items they would take with them into the jungle.

In an interview with Hit Network, Johnson jokingly suggested that Blunt would take Vagisil, to which Blunt replied that Johnson should bring anal beads. The answers were fun for an interview, but Disney couldn’t find it.

The Rock later spoke about this incident saying: “I can’t tell you how quickly we got these calls, ‘We really like your chemistry and what you do, but can we go back to the anal beads for a bit?'”

Disney assumes its brand image with the greatest rigor. They sign actors who are not bound by controversies and make sure not to create any in the future. Disney has a huge fanbase, most of which are families and the younger generation. Obviously, using such words publicly in an interview will put Disney in trouble.

However, it looks like Disney resolved this issue diplomatically with a phone call, as Johnson has a good relationship with the company. Additionally, Disney has an agreement with Dwayne Johnson’s XFL Football League.

Johnson and Blunt have great chemistry in the movie. Additionally, there are talks of the two actors reuniting for Jungle Cruise 2 in the future.
