The Rock Honors Robin Williams' Jumanji Legacy

Dwayne Johnson recently paid homage to Robin Williams and the original Jumanji film on the set of its upcoming sequel. The tribute coincided with the 30th anniversary of the 1995 film's release on December 15. Johnson shared a video expressing his deep appreciation for Williams' contribution to the franchise, acknowledging that the series owes its enduring success to the original cast and crew.

Johnson, who is reprising his role in the new Jumanji movie, revealed his favorite moment from the original film, a memorable exchange between Robin Williams' Alan Parrish and Jonathan Hyde's Van Pelt. He wears a necklace featuring a prop from that scene, symbolizing his personal connection to the film's legacy. This is not the first time Johnson has acknowledged his admiration for Williams, having previously highlighted dice props earlier in production.
