The People’s Champion, The Great One, The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment, Brahma Bull, and the list goes on if we think about just the nicknames Dwayne Johnson has gained due to his persona. All of these complement his physical build and attitude well.
One top Hollywood star, however, gave him a moniker that differs totally from all of his other nicknames, referring to him as “Toots” and “Cupcake.” In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Emily Blunt, Johnson’s Jungle Cruise co-star, explained the origin of the cute nickname she gave to DJ.

The former wrestler is said to be one of the brawniest celebrities in the world, but he has a few adorable nicknames. In an interview with ET, Blunt talked about the nicknames she has given to Johnson for a long. The British Actress explained, “It has been around now for 3 years. I used to enjoy calling him very, sort of sweet, cute things. Like he texts me, ‘Alright, I’m leaving now, I’ll see you on set’ and I’m like, ‘Ok cupcake.”
While growing up, DJ was called ‘Dewey’ in his family, so it wouldn’t be so weird for him to have such sweet nicknames.
Moreover, Johnson and the ‘Mary Poppins’ star have established an instant bond. The actress claimed that she genuinely feels happy working with The Rock and likes giving him cute little nicknames. Notably, DJ has always been an admirer of Blunt’s work long before they traded jabs and shared a screen.

Johnson has long wanted to collaborate with her, in case you didn’t know. He sent her special video messages to encourage her to work in Jungle Cruise. They are happy about the fact that he ultimately completed the film.
