Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is opening up about reuniting with his good friend and co-star Kevin Hart after he was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in a back injury that needed surgery.

“His situation could’ve gone another way. He knows that, we know that,” Johnson, 47, said during their Jumanji: Next Level press tour. “When I heard the news, my heart stopped and I lost my breath. Kevin’s one of the good ones, he’s a good egg. So I’m really proud of not only his ability to overcome, but we’re here, we’re in Cabo, we made Jumanji. Life is good. I’m happy that he’s here.”

“We hugged, we had a real strong conversation when he finally came back, face to face, about what this meant and how it had changed him,” Johnson continued. “It’s almost as if life and the universe takes this shade and lifts it from your eyes and you view the world a different way. It’s really beautiful.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on the cover of WSJ. Magazine December/January issue, out on newsstands on Saturday, December 14th.

Here’s what the 47-year-old actor had to share with the mag…

On if his first marriage not working out caused him to wait over a decade to marry his wife Lauren: “That’s a good question. I think so, yeah. My divorce did a number on me. I wasn’t fearful of getting married again, there was just some hesitancy. But Lauren was incredibly patient: ‘I love you, you love me, we have this amazing life together—no presh.’”

On his top secret wedding: “We had a full security detail in case there were helicopters,” he says. “But there was no press, no paparazzi. No one knew. I was shocked but so grateful. My life is so loud and noisy; the fact that it was quiet was a big win.”


Kevin Hart, on what The Rock is bad at: “He can’t run. It’s not attractive at all. But he doesn’t shy away from it. He’s fine with going, ‘So? I’ve done a lot. These legs are tired.’”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hits the ring for a special appearance during WWE Smackdown on Fox on Friday night (October 4) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 47-year-old former wrestler turned actor came out to support Becky “The Man” Lynch in her match against Baron Corbin.

Corbin told the two of them to “know your roles and shut your mouths” and The Rock issued a warning to the wrestler.

“That’s what happens when you come out and you insult the people,” he said. “And that’s what happens when you come out and you insult the jabroni-beating, pie-eating, trailblazing, eyebrow-raising from Los Angeles all the way to Japan. You’re getting ready to get your monkey ass whooped by The Rock and The Man!”
