Dwayne Johnson has co-starred romantically with various actresses in Hollywood and he has shared several on-screen kisses as the work required him to. It wasn’t until his movie with Emily Blunt that he was caught in a controversy surrounding his ‘kissing skills’.

Dwayne Johnson shoots back at Emily Blunt

In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, the Jungle Cruise female lead said that not all of her experiences with kissing co-stars were pleasant. Blunt revealed that some of them even made her want to throw up. However, she had a list of names for whom this statement did not apply, including Dwayne Johnson. Although she made a distinction between The Rock and her bad kissing co-stars, the wrestler still took a hilarious shot at the drama that had stirred up online.

Dwayne Johnson uploaded a video on Instagram talking about how he handled his flight from Canada to France. After talking about the routine that one ought to follow after a long flight back home, he had a joke ready for everyone. For all the fans wondering if he knows how to speak French, The Brahma Bull had a hilarious message: “The million dollar question that you guys want to know ‘Rock, do you speak French?’ Well, I do not speak French. However, I kiss that way. Quite good too, from what I’m told.”

While this could have been a simple ‘French kiss’ joke for the world, the final sentence that he added suggests something else. He claimed that he has been called a ‘good’ kisser in the past, which is contradictory to what the internet was set to believe when Emily Blunt almost landed The Rock in an awkward situation with her ‘vomit-after-kissing’ controversy.

The reason why she did not dislike locking lips with some co-stars, including The Rock on-screen. is because of the bond that they shared behind the curtains.

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt gift each other things

In the same interview with Howard Stern, Blunt revealed that she loves giving gifts. After Jungle Cruise wrapped up, the female talent brought a gift for Johnson. Not having brought anything for her in return, The Rock felt bad and started showering her with various presents on different occasions. He also reportedly gifted Emily Blunt a ticket to WrestleMania XL.

Despite the opportunity that she had, the Hollywood actress turned down the invitation to go see the event live in Philadelphia.

Could Dwayne Johnson have been upset with his friend because she turned it down? If so, the retired wrestler’s ‘French kiss’ comment in the video may have been a shot at Emily Blunt’s controversial statement.
