Dwayne Johnson spills the details on how long it took to put on his Maui body suit for the live-action remake of Moana.
, Johnson is bringing Maui to life in a feature film set for release in 2026. But once fans started to, it became apparent that his already large physique was even more exaggerated. Johnson has decided to put the speculation to rest.. “So, I’m so happy you said, ‘You bulked up,’ because when you say, ‘You bulked up,’ that means you couldn’t tell.”
The Rock added, “That is a couple of hours every day of transforming, putting that on. We shot outside and when those pictures surfaced, I was like, ‘Sh*t, we got caught.’ Because we were putting up, like, walls so there was no paparazzi. But they got into boats and started shooting pictures. So, but I’m happy you liked it. I can’t wait. The movie comes out in 2026.”Voicing an animated character is one thing, but taking that role and bringing it to life in live-action is another matter.
Playing Maui also allowed Johnson to connect to his family roots. “This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength. I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reunite with Maui, inspired by the mana and spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me.
