Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall send ‘The Rock’ patronising videos
EMILY Blunt and Jack Whitehall sent Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson ‘patronising’ videos to teach him action moves.
The trio formed a close bond when they worked together on ‘Jungle Cruise’ and the 38year-old actress felt sorry for director Jaume Collet-Serra because he often had to scold them for messing around, but she admitted one of her favourite things to do was to team up with her on-screen sibling to send funny clips to their co-star urging him to work out less.
She admitted to You magazine: “Jack and I liked sending Dwayne videos of ourselves on set doing stunts, pretending that we were helping him learn how to do an action sequence.
“We’d send these really patronising videos of us being like, ‘OK, Dwayne, this is called... a stunt sequence.’
“Jack’s name for me was ‘Stunty Blunty’. He was ‘Jacktion Man’.
“Our preparations for stunts involved eating a fried chicken takeaway. Every time we had an action sequence, that’s what we’d eat. So we’d send Dwayne videos saying, ‘You don’t need to go to the gym so much, you actually just need to eat fried chicken.’” — Bang Showbiz
