10 Ridiculous Stories Behind 2021 Movies
6. Chaotic Cast Chemistry - Jungle Cruise
Sometimes a film comes along where the cast gets on like a house on fire. While it permeates on-screen massively, it truly shines when the actors are in interviews together. Take the ones Emily Blunt, Dwayne Johnson, and Jack Whitehall gave while promoting Jungle Cruise. Here, they wasted no time explaining all the little things they did to enjoy themselves while filming.
It appears like Blunt was the instigator in many of these fun tidbits. Namely, she left inappropriate messages around Johnson's gym and got people across the production to call him 'Toots'. Whitehall also had his fair share, from making sound effects during a kissing scene between the two leads to teaming up with Blunt to send Johnson patronising stunt instruction videos jokingly.
Dwayne was a great sport in putting up with the antics of his co-stars, and he even got the last laugh when they had to go back to reshoot a fight scene because Whitehall's punching was deemed too soft to believe. These stories show how incredible the environment on set was, with the only downside being the editor's headaches in having to cut right before one of them started laughing. We think it was worth it, though.
