Dwayne Johnson has had a long relationship with Hollywood. Having debuted more than a decade ago as the lead actor, The Rock has undoubtedly become one of the top stars in the industry right now. It’s not just our words that you should trust. In fact, a director from the $7.47 billion franchise has also praised Johnson for his iconicity.

While talking in an exclusive interview, Fast X director Louis Leterrier showed his admiration for The Rock. Not only was he praising the WWE legend for being an iconic superstar, but he also subtly hinted at how the actor brought out the best in Leterrier as a director.

Dwayne Johnson forced director to be creative

After Johnson had announced his departure from the Fast & Furious movie, franchise following a feud with Vin Diesel, fans had no expectations for him to come back. However, the audience was blessed with a ray of hope when they stayed until the post-credit scene of Fast X. In the scene, fans caught a glimpse of ‘Luke Hobbs’ returning to the action-filled movie series. While filming the scene, Johnson involuntarily pushed Louis to be more creative.

Louis, while talking to GamesRadar, confessed, “The moment you film Dwayne Johnson, in any shape or form, you recognize it’s Dwayne Johnson, so I was like, ‘How can I change the tone?’ Hide it in the shadows, put a mask on, and use lights and flares so you’re distracted by the filmmaking. So you’re not focusing on who the camera is filming and what the camera is pointed at. That was the idea.”

Exclusively, he told GamesRadar about how Johnson’s return involuntarily forced him to go as creative as he could while using the already available sources at hand.

After fans saw this scene that required an extra effort from Leterrier’s side, they erupted with excitement. The scene gave them the perfect tease about how one of their favorite characters was returning. Soon after, Johnson also took to social media to confirm the same.

Dwayne Johnson didn’t waste much time to confirm his return to Fast franchise

Unable to meet in the middle was the prime reason why Vin Diesel and Johnson had to part ways from the project. While ‘Dominic Toretto’ stayed for his lead role, the 800 million-dollar-worth-actor decided to go his own way. Despite the ‘cold war’ that followed the duo, they were ultimately able to put their differences aside. This allowed them to come together as entertainers again and satisfy their fanbase who craved to see them together.
