In case it’s somehow slipped your attention, The Rock is starring in the Jumanji remake that’s slated to come out this Boxing Day. You know who else is in the film? Kevin Hart. You know who Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is making fun of the *entire* press tour? Kevin bloody Hart.
The Rock and Kevin Hart have been pretend-feuding for yonks, but things really kicked up a notch during this latest media circuit, when the pair of them are being plonked together in interview after interview for hours at a time.
Check out The Rock’s reaction to one journalist who wore a fan t-shirt to her junket.
“My strong bond with global press journalists is very unique and special – based on inclusion, being real and fun,” he said. “True, I’m being extremely petty by rubbing this in Kevin Hart’s face but that’s what brothers do.”
And check out Hart’s reaction.
A short while later, he called Hart a “snack-sized Denzel“ Washington, promising to take the Hart-Rock show on the road and call it FknKvinHart.
It’s not the most flattering pic of Hart, either.
And then while on the red carpet for the Jumanji premiere in Berlin, he told reporters: “As always, my arms are hurting, because I’ve been carrying Kevin Hart, all day.”
And on Instagram: “It’s also a pleasure to bring my son Kevin Hart with me since I don’t often let him out of his cage.”
And then, two days later, he was sledging the very words coming out of Hart’s mouth.
But at least he’s really putting the work in.
“Whatever region of the world we’re doing press for, I’ll always try to refer to Kevin Hart as ‘shit’ in their country’s language,” he said. Bless.
Oh, Kevin.
