“My Foot in Mouth”: Dwayne Johnson Once Cringed Out Top Hollywood Actress By Making a Gross Revelation

Over the years, after acting in over 40 movies, Dwayne Johnson has done various roles. Moreover, there are various scenes The Rock has been part of which was difficult and are iconic now.

Similarly, The Rock had a scene in his recent Disney movie The Jungle Cruise. Also, he made a wild claim about his co-star in one scene.

A year ago, while promoting The Jungle Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, and Emily Blunt, appeared on USA Today. They shared how they filmed the underwater mouth-to-mouth scene, which looked romantic on-screen.

Blunt said, “I have to say when we watch the scene, it’s so beautiful in the movie. But on the day (of filming) we couldn’t even see each other. It’s very murky down there and so I could have been kissing anyone. (Points at DJ) It was probably one of your stunt doubles.”

Johnson jokingly said, “You were kissing my foot. My foot in mouth.”

In a climatic sequence of the movie, Blunt’s Lily Houghton, and Johnson’s Frank Wolff, have a task to dive from their boat to solve an underwater puzzle. This puzzle was more difficult than anticipated. 

When they decided to go underwater, Lily gets trapped in the puzzle, fighting for air when both the characters use mouth to mouth technique to save each other. However, it took some clever thinking to force it open and drain the water so the pair can access a secret cave.
