A Dynamic Conversation with Dwayne Johnson
[Music playing]
Host: Hi!
Dwayne Johnson: Hi!
Host: How are you?
Dwayne Johnson: Hi!
Host: Good, how are you?
Dwayne Johnson: Hi, hello.
Crowd: [CHEERING]
Host: Thank you! Always looking out.
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you. Always looking out. If there’s a thread, I’m going to get it for you. That’s how I am.
Host: Thank you so much. You look fantastic!
Dwayne Johnson: You too! I like the corduroy.
Host: Thank you so much. Looking good!
Host: Are you exhausted? You just got back from—when did you come back from Europe?
Host: Now, when you go to Europe, I saw that when you travel, you bring your gym with you. Do you—what’s the limit where you don’t bring the gym?
Dwayne Johnson: Well, for context, any place that I shoot, just in terms of locations that I go to, then I’ll bring the gym with me. But for this tour, I didn’t bring the gym—because it was only a couple of days. But if I’m in a location, whether it’s Europe, Hawaii, or wherever it is, I bring the gym for—
Host: Because you don’t think that—
Dwayne Johnson: —Three months.
Host: —They have the same equipment there? Do you have something different—no, seriously.
Dwayne Johnson: No, gyms have basically the same equipment, especially at the kind of gyms that I train at. The only issue is it’s just extremely hard for me to get a workout in in a public gym because it’s a lot of people, and the etiquette gets thrown out the window. And I just—I can’t—
Host: Right.
Crowd: [CHEERING]
Dwayne Johnson: Oh, yes. That’s a good one to put up. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Host: [CHEERING] Kevin Hart took that, yeah.
Dwayne Johnson: Yeah, man. He’s really been working out lately.
Host: He has been, yeah. I’m so happy to see that he’s okay again—that he’s—
Dwayne Johnson: It’s so good to have him back.
Host: Yeah, yeah. That was a scary thing, that car accident.
Dwayne Johnson: It was a scary thing with the car accident. It’s so good to have him back. You know, we went on tour together, and we were traveling around the world. And I was with him all day, every day, throughout the nights too, as well.
Host: Yes.
Dwayne Johnson: I mean, it’s just like looking in the mirror. We’re twins!
Crowd: [LAUGHTER]
Dwayne Johnson: But it is so good to have him back because he’s such a good guy. And it couldn’t have been a better Christmas gift than to have him back.
Crowd: [CHEERING]
Host: You had a beautiful wedding. And look at this picture. This picture—
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you.
Host: —was taken at 7:45 in the morning? Is that right?
Dwayne Johnson: Yes! We had an early morning wedding in Hawaii on the cliffs there in Kauai. And it was very private. And it was the best. It truly was the best.
Host: Why 7:45?
Dwayne Johnson: So let’s back that up for her hair and makeup. So her hair and makeup had to start at like 5:00 or something. It started very early.
Host: Why would you have the wedding at 7:45 in the morning?
Dwayne Johnson: Well, I had to work out. I had like the 8:00 workout. I’m only kidding. I’m only kidding.
Host: Kind of.
Dwayne Johnson: No, no, no. I’m only kidding. We wanted to have an early morning wedding. That way, we say the vows, get it over with. And then by 10, 11 o’clock, we’re hanging. We’re having brunch with the family, and we had it done. And plus, in Hawaii at that time, it’s a beautiful time with us and my ancestors watching over us. It was truly a magical, magical wedding.
Host: Well, that’s great.
Host: And you have a new baby.
Dwayne Johnson: We do, yes.
Host: Yeah. How old is she now?
Dwayne Johnson: Yes. She is going to be two coming up—yes.
Host: Look at that. You’re such a good daddy!
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you! She is—I have all daughters ranging from our daughter who’s going to be two to Jazzy, who’s going to be four.
Host: There they are right there.
Dwayne Johnson: They were our flower girls at our wedding, and they were just—it was so magical.
Host: And what do they want for Christmas?
Dwayne Johnson: Every toy that they see!
Host: Every toy that they see?
Dwayne Johnson: So of course, with Lauren, my wife, Jazzy says, “Can I have that?” And of course, she says, “Well, let’s make the list. And if you’re good, you have a birthday coming up, and you have Christmas coming up.” And of course, when she asks me, “Daddy, can I have that?”
Host: Absolutely.
Dwayne Johnson: Yes! Absolutely. When would you like it?
Host: Got it.
Dwayne Johnson: Tomorrow! I want it!
Host: Before Christmas, yeah. Spoil them rotten!
Dwayne Johnson: Ah, well—and they deserve it!
Host: That’s really cute.
Host: And you had—so congratulations, The Titan Games got renewed for the second season, right?
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you very much!
Host: Yeah, that’s great!
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you! Thank you, guys!
Crowd: [CHEERING]
Dwayne Johnson: We sent Andy through the—
Host: Thank you.
Dwayne Johnson: —Yeah, Andy was there. He went, and Andy participated in The Titan Games.
Host: Would you call it participating?
Dwayne Johnson: I would call it he tried before he had cardiac arrest and—but he tried. He really tried hard.
Host: Yeah.
Dwayne Johnson: Well, those are really tough—
Host: He was exhausted and completely—watch this. Go, Andy.
Dwayne Johnson: OK. So—
Crowd: [LAUGHTER]
Dwayne Johnson: I’m surprised he was able to do—those are really hard.
Host: It was very, very hard.
Dwayne Johnson: Yeah, so the course is extremely hard. So we’re going to come back this season. This season is going to be even harder, but yes.
Host: New games?
Dwayne Johnson: New games coming up. And I think our competitors—they may compete a little better than Andy.
Host: He is trying. He’s really trying.
Dwayne Johnson: Poor guy. God bless his soul. Even getting to the end.
Host: Alright. We’ll take a break. More with Dwayne after this.
Dwayne Johnson: Thank you!
