In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson humorously roasted his frequent co-star and friend Kevin Hart while promoting his upcoming film “The Smashing Machine.” The A24 drama features Emily Blunt, Johnson’s co-star from “Jungle Cruise.” When interviewer Kevin Frazier joked about Blunt being “a hell of an upgrade over Kevin Hart,” both Johnson and Blunt agreed, with Johnson quipping, “She’s a lot taller, for sure,” referencing Hart’s height in a lighthearted manner. This friendly banter continues the comedic rivalry embraced by fans.
Johnson’s playful mocks of Hart are not new. In August, he edited Hart’s face onto a video of an owl, making another joke about their height difference. Hart, in return, has teased Johnson about a minor gym injury and shared an old photo showing Johnson’s jerry curl hairstyle. Despite their jests, the strong camaraderie and mutual respect between the two remain evident, with rumors swirling about another “Jumanji” sequel keeping fans excited for their future collaborations.
“The Smashing Machine,” set to release on October 3, 2025, showcases Johnson in a significant role as real-life MMA fighter Mark Kerr, highlighting his versatility as an actor. Blunt portrays Kerr’s then-wife, Dawn Staples, making waves with early Oscar buzz for her performance. Critics have already begun to praise the film for its raw and intense depiction of the mixed martial arts world.
With high anticipation surrounding its release, “The Smashing Machine” is expected to be a standout addition to both Johnson’s and Blunt’s filmographies, promising compelling performances and a significant cinematic experience in 2025.
