Many actors claim that Dwayne Johnson is one of the easiest actors to work with in Hollywood, while filming a movie. The Rock has an inbuilt ability to make his co-actors feel comfortable right from the time they meet before the filming begins.

However, a couple of years ago, Johnson had made a top British actress uncomfortable with his actions.

A year ago, Dwayne Johnson, and Emily Blunt, appeared on USA Today. The interviewer, Brian Alexander, asked DJ about all the letters and personal videos he sent to Blunt to convince her to do the movie. However, the British actress gave a pun-intended reply.

Blunt said, “It got stalker-ish. Do I need to call the police, Bryan? Do I?” 

Johnson replied, saying, “It was only borderline stalker-ish. I’m going to get arrested. Chris Hansen is waiting outside.”

Blunt started laughing and said, “The “Catch a Predator” host? Seriously?

Blunt didn’t want to do the movie initially because of her hectic schedule. Moreover, she ignored multiple video messages from DJ who was trying to convince her to be in the movie. 

The Rock claims to be a fan of Blunt since he saw her performance in The Devil Wears Prada. Therefore, he wanted to work with her in a movie and got this opportunity with this Disney movie.

Emily Blunt didn’t sign the movie because of the videos and messages Dwayne Johnson sent

Emily Blunt was taking a short break after shooting ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ and ‘A Quiet Place’ back-to-back. Moreover, she had declined to read a script of The Jungle Cruise. However, Johnson claims Blunt accepted the role after he sent some videos and dropped her some messages.

The director of The Jungle Cruise, Jaume Collet-Serra, met Blunt and showed her the script. Moreover, when the actress asked what the film is about, Serra said, ‘Love,’ and she immediately said yes to the film. 

Blunt in the interview told, “I knew we had an innate romantic at the helm of it and a world builder. That’s what we needed. (Pointing at DJ and jokingly says) Your video didn’t do anything for me. It made me wanna run.
