After Complaints About The Rock On Set, Moana Co-Star Auli’i Cravalho Defends His Work Ethic (And How He Smells)

by

As a huge fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, I have to admit that the rumors about his unprofessional behavior on set during the production of “Red One” came as quite a shock. It went against the public image of this charismatic and hardworking actor that we all know and love.

Recently, allegations surfaced that Dwayne Johnson exhibited unprofessional behavior during the filming of “Red One.” But more recently, his co-star on an upcoming 2024 project with him, “Moana 2,” has spoken up in defense of The Rock. She commended his work ethic and shared her appreciation for his pleasant scent.

There Have Been Rumors That The Rock Is Unprofessional On Set

Recently in the spring, there were rumors circulating about Dwayne Johnson’s supposed unprofessional behavior while filming “Red One.” According to sources, Johnson arrived late frequently during production, causing the movie to exceed its budget. The delay was reportedly as much as eight hours. Additionally, it was alleged that he would urinate in water bottles on set.

This goes against the star’s public persona, and as stated, rumors.

Now, while not addressing this situation, Johnson’s Moana co-star Auli’i Cravalho sang his praises.

Auli’i Cravalho Spoke Highly Of Dwayne Johnson

Auli’i Cravalho has had a long-standing relationship with the “Fast and Furious” actor as they collaborated on the initial production of “Moana” in 2016. With the upcoming release of “Moana 2,” the pair have reunited, and during an interview with Us Weekly about Coral Reef Awareness Week, the “Mean Girls” actor was queried about her costar.

Instead of specifically denying the rumors mentioned earlier, she responded by making these comments:

There’s, like, a faint sense of vanilla. I don’t want to get into the undertones of what must be his cologne, but he’s always glistening. … He’s a great co-star. I have no complaints.

As someone who has followed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Gal Gadot’s careers closely, I have to admit that their sweet admission of their affection for each other was a delightful surprise. The rumors swirling around them earlier this spring were intense and left many wondering about their relationship status. However, as someone who has seen both of them grow and excel in their respective fields, I’m not surprised that they have such a strong bond. Their shared passion for their work and dedication to making a positive impact on people’s lives is evident in every project they undertake. It’s heartening to see them open up about their personal relationship, adding yet another layer to the admiration we have for them as individuals and as a dynamic duo.

I’m thrilled to join in the chorus of admiration for this remarkable actor from “The Power.” As a long-time fan of his, I can’t help but be moved by his exceptional talent. And now, fortunately, I have the privilege of calling him a friend. Allow me to share: I’ve always been captivated by his performances on Maui, and the way he brings characters to life is truly inspiring. It’s an honor to know him personally.

He’s truly remarkable. He holds a special place in our community as a local legend, and I’ve known about him since my childhood, even before Moana became famous. Meeting him for the first time felt like an exciting encounter with a renowned celebrity. Now, we stay in touch through text messages.

Since Cravalho was only 14 when she initially portrayed Moana, it’s heartwarming to listen to her discuss her enduring bond with Dwayne Johnson. This information heightens my anticipation for “Moana 2,” and I’m eagerly looking forward to observing them collaborate on promoting the upcoming film prior to its November release.

As a movie buff with a keen interest in following the careers of notable directors, I’m thrilled to share that both upcoming movies from the acclaimed filmmaker Johnson are set for release this year. The first one, “Red One,” is scheduled for November 15, followed by “Moana 2” on November 27.

Before the release of these films, you have the option to watch “Moana” by subscribing to Disney+ and streaming the movie instead.
