“Wrapping My Legs Around Dwayne’s Neck..”: Oscar Nominated Actress Once Shared Her Memorable Time With Dwayne Johnson

For more than a decade, Dwayne Johnson has starred in blockbusters that have grossed billions of dollars worldwide. It is reasonable to argue that The Rock is currently Hollywood’s best bet for directors and producers looking to make a blockbuster. Also, he is one of the most liked people to work with due to his upright attitude toward others. Notably, a Hollywood actress, thanked The Rock and spoke about her experience of working on a legendary movie after filming a scene in which she choked The Rock.

Vanessa Kirby, who played Vanessa in Hobbs and Shaw, discussed the movie’s well-known choking sequence. For those who don’t know, David Leitch, whose speciality is action movies, directed this movie. This movie had a lot of action similar to the other Fast and Furious films.

The action sequence was so masterfully executed by Kirby that it became one of the talking points.

It was the most intense introduction to a film ever and also to a person never met him once before. But yeah it was so much fun.”

Considering that Johnson is one of the most famous action movie actors in the world, she indeed stated it in good jest. Aside from being impressed, she also valued her time spent working with DJ on the movie, which racked in about $760 million worldwide.
