Dwayne Johnson has made a lot of notable friends in Hollywood. One of his more popular friendships is the one he has with Kevin Hart. A year after their first movie together, Johnson decided to introduce his mother to his new best friend. Even though the introduction did not go as the former wrestler had planned, he was grateful for the way Hart reacted.

The Rock recalled this particular incident in a recent episode of ‘Hart To Heart’. The latest episode from season three saw the two friends touching upon a variety of topics. However, a lot of people paid special attention to DJ’s recollection of a memory that he holds close to his heart.

The duo first co-starred in the 2016 movie Central Intelligence. Following the movie’s success, they starred in another one that was released in 2017 – Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. While on the set of this movie, ‘The Brahma Bull’ invited his mother Ata Johnson to the set. Johnson wanted her to meet Kevin Hart because he knew she was fond of the comedian.

After introducing her to everyone else, the WWE legend finally decided to introduce her to Hart. But considering what a lively character Hart is on and off set, things didn’t go the way Johnson had planned.

Instead, after DJ pointed out his mother to his friend, the actor screamed from afar, “Aye, aye, aye! Aye! When do they let models on set?” Seeing Ata looking around in disbelief, Hart reassured her by continuing, “You a model! Yeah! You didn’t tell me your mom was 21! DJ this your mom? Aye!

After recalling the moment, ‘The Brahma Bull’ admitted that the incident made his mother feel “incredible“.

‘Mama Johnson’ had such a good time at her son’s movie set that she did not stop the tradition of coming to meet him at his workplace. In fact, during the shoot of a 2019 film, Ata even cried ‘tears of pride’.
