Dwayne Johnson may be the world’s biggest action movie star and one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, but at the end of the day, what is life without a bit of mischief (and a little marketing gig on the side)? The Rock has been known for being involved with more than just one entrepreneurial venture when it comes to his life outside of sets and studios.
With a building empire that consists not only of a production house but also an alcohol company among other things, it is pertinent for the man of many talents to put to use his business acumen in new and innovative ways to market his products to the people. And who better knows how to connect to the masses than the People’s Champion himself?
Dwayne Johnson and Danny DeVito Crash a Wedding
In one of the unlikeliest stories originating from Hollywood, the world’s most famous man aka The Rock, and its most beloved, aka Danny DeVito, once paired up and set off on a mission: crashing a wedding. In 2019, Dwayne Johnson revealed how he, accompanied by co-star DeVito, crashed a couple’s beach wedding in Cabo during the filming of Jumanji: The Next Level. In an Instagram post, the actor gave a shout-out to the couple and posted the video of the evening which he had documented, captioning it:
“We were sippin’ on a lil’ Teremana tequila, enjoyin’ the quiet sunset together in Mexico after a long week of Jumanji work when this idea hit. Crash the wedding. Grab a mic. Sing a special song. Say adios. It was actually quite beautiful, and the love and mana in that room surrounding the wedding couple was so strong.”
Although the duo essentially made the couple’s wedding a memorable one, one can’t help but point out the fact that The Rock exploited the opportunity to promote his own business. The company, Siete Bucks Spirits, founded by the actor, is the producer of Teremana tequila which has seen quite an uptake in popularity in the recent few years. And Dwayne Johnson’s unique way of promoting his business has not only been deemed effective but makes for a fun, cheery, and heartwarming story along the way.
The Rock and Danny DeVito’s Memorable Day Out in Cabo
It is not every day that one sees The Rock and Danny DeVito standing about 5 feet away from where they’re supposed to walk down the aisle. But that is what happened on the day of Will and Kristine Abbott’s wedding. As the wedding crashers took full liberty to steal the newlyweds’ spotlight, DeVito also graced the presence with his rendition of Nat King Cole’s Unforgettable, following which Johnson was heard asking his companion to give some advice to the couple.
DeVito, in a display of his signature quick humor, claimed, “Get a big house, so you won’t have to bump into her.” Followed by laughs, Johnson jokingly retorted, “That’s not—yeah, that’s not right… Five words that Danny and I live by: ‘Yes honey, you are right.'”
The duo’s film, Jumanji: The Next Level went on to gather $801M worldwide after being produced on a budget of $125M. The film currently holds a rating of 71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Jumanji: The Next Level is available for streaming on Hulu and Prime Video.
