Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently discussed working with Emily Blunt while promoting his new A24 film, The Smashing Machine, and playfully teased his friend and frequent co-star, Kevin Hart.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt talked about their latest film and reminisced with some humor about previous colleagues they’ve worked with.

During their talk, host Kevin Frazier playfully said, “Emily is a hell of an upgrade over Kevin Hart.” Cameron Diaz laughed in response, and Justin Timberlake chimed in with a smile, “She’s a lot taller, for sure.”

The playful and good-natured teasing showcases the established and familiar relationship between Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. These two actors have appeared in several movies together, such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Jumanji: The Next Level, and Central Intelligence.

As a fan, I’ve always loved how their on-screen chemistry works – it’s such a great mix of Kevin Hart’s hilarious energy and Dwayne Johnson’s action-hero vibe. But it’s not just for the cameras! They genuinely seem to be close friends, with a lot of respect for each other and a playful sense of humor. You could really see that side of Johnson in this interview, he was definitely teasing Hart in a friendly way.

The Smashing Machine brings Dwayne Johnson back together with Emily Blunt, who starred alongside him in Jungle Cruise, and suggests a new and interesting relationship between them. Though Kevin Hart isn’t part of this project, people are enjoying the fun comparisons to their previous work together.
