The Rock has had his fair share of success and failures, and seeing him own up toBlack Adams‘ lukewarm response made him more human to the audience. The actor is known for this particular charm and ability to connect to his audience almost instantly.All interviews and reviews ofBlack Adamhave criticized the film despite that Johnson did not lose hope, and it was his efforts that got Cavill back as Superman for one last time.
Dwayne Johnson sat on Emily Blunt’s lap backstage
While the actor had some moments of grace at the Oscars he also embarrassed himself backstage. TheJungle Cruisestars shared quite the moment backstage when the buffed-up, hunky Rock made himself comfortable on Emily Blunt’s lap.The actress only had good things to say about the actor, in a 2021 interview withParadeEmily Blunt opened up about her thoughts on The Rock,
“I went, ‘Oh, my God!,’ because I imagined him to be this sort of larger-than-life person with a personality to match,” she told the publication. “But he just said, ‘Hey, how are you?’ and was so quiet and shy.”

She talked revealed her surprise at discovering how soft and funny Dwayne Johnson was, she spoke on Entertainment Tonight,
“I think it is rare that you take someone away from a movie that becomes a genuine, sort of like, a friend for life. And he has. He is my most enormous buddy and will always be my most enormous buddy.”
This is another testament to Johnson’s character and charm, he might look bulky and hunky but inside is a man who has seen failure, poverty, struggle, and success. The man has been through a lot and has given everything he could to make it here. Despite not making it to the DCU he will continue to star in giant blockbusters in the foreseeable future.
