Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has reminisced about working with Kevin Hart. Johnson said when he was cast for the comedy film "Central Intelligence," he was asked to suggest who his partner in the film should be and he immediately spotted Kevin Hart's name on a long list of potential co-stars.
"We went through the entire list of guys, not just comedy stars, but all the biggest stars in the world. At the end of the call, I said 'There's one guy who has to play this role.' There was a long silence and I said, 'Kevin Hart,'" Johnson said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
A week after the movie's US release, Johnson said that choosing Hart for "Central Intelligence" was definitely the best decision he made for the project. As the movie is being intensely promoted ahead of its international release, Johnson has shared more about his experience working with one of Hollywood's funniest guys, Hart.
In a separate interview with Daily Mail UK , Johnson reveals that the working relationship between him and Hart is "a healthy competition." According to Johnson, it was a delightful competition on who will remember their lines better, run faster, react wittily and many other games.
The former champion wrestler turned actor further revealed that moviegoers will be pleased with how appealing the posters for the movie would be.
Johnson added that Hart was a very supportive co-actor. "I hope to work with him again. It's either you are funny, or you are not. You can't teach a person to have sense of humor. Kevin is quite hilarious and a pleasure to work with," the buff actor said with a smile.
