Emily Blunt Roasts Fans Calling Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson "Skinny"

In the lead-up to the release of their new A24 film, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Emily Blunt sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight. The conversation quickly turned into a roast session, as the hosts brought up the online chatter about Johnson's "tiny" new look.

Blunt, known for her quick wit, wasted no time jumping in to defend her co-star. The English actress burst out laughing at the suggestion that the muscular actor had become "skinny," pointing out that he still looks like he could "bench-press a dump truck."

Johnson, who had packed on 30 pounds to play MMA legend Mark Kerr in the recent 2025 film "The Smashing Machine," is now leaning out for a very different kind of project. The actor says he's aiming to drop an additional 25-30 pounds gradually, this time to portray a 75-year-old man.

Blunt didn't stop at roasting the online commenters, as she also turned the heat on her co-star, quipping that Johnson no longer "looks pregnant." The playful banter between the two stars made the press junket an entertaining watch, showcasing their natural chemistry.

While Johnson's physique may be changing, his status as a Hollywood action powerhouse remains undiminished. Fans can look forward to seeing the actor in his upcoming role, where he'll be joined by an unexpected sidekick - a chicken.
