Dwayne Johnson, the popular wrestler-turned-actor known as ‘The Rock’ has expressed appreciation for the “genuine” love he receives from Bollywood actors.
Many actors from Bollywood including Varun Dhawan have time and again expressed their fondness for Dwayne Johnson. And the 49-year-old who has worked with actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the 2017 film Baywatch, reveals that it never goes unnoticed.
“I get a lot of love from Bollywood actors and I appreciate the love. I see what they post and how they comment. That means a lot to me,” said Johnson.
Johnson will next be seen in ‘Red Notice’, a Netflix action comedy thriller that is written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. The film, also starring Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, looks like a fast-paced entertainer.
The film was earlier going to be released by Universal Pictures before Netflix acquired its rights. Chris Diamantopoulos and Ritu Arya also star in the film.
Johnson added, “A lot of times, [since they are] actors [they could be just] acting, but the love that I get from a lot of actors in India is genuine. I feel it, all the way, over here. I love the energy and the love from India has been unbelievable over the years. By the way, I was tracking this love when I was wrestling in WWE because wrestling is very big in India.”
He continued, “I wrestled full time… maybe three to four years. It was a very short career. And I never made it to India. But I can’t wait to come there. The love that I got as a wrestler and now certainly as an actor (is amazing). I keep hearing that, ‘You are exploding India’ (sic).”
He also showered praise on his Red Notice co-star Reynolds, saying that he is a “genuinely funny, witty guy with multiple layers to his sense of humour. He brings this awesome fun dynamic between us.”
“We have been friends for a very long time. We literally started our careers together the same year. We have 20 years behind us and our chemistry worked and people will get to see it in Red Notice as well.”
