The video going viral on Twitter saw, a visibly drunk Dwayne Johnson trying to tell a pun but failing badly every time. His co-actress Emily Blunt would come to his rescue, and manage him. Johnson would begin the pun with, “Right, so I saw a girl right? I had to break up with her.”

As Johnson fumbled while delivering his pun, Blunt said,“You already f***ed it up.” To which, Johnson replied, ” I f***ed it up. I drank too much already this morning. “ Blunt would show her support, and encourage Johnson, “okay he’s drunk. Okay go on let’s try it again.”

However, as the 51-year-old kept failing, Blunt would claim, “See this is what I mean. Do you think he calls himself the pun-slinger. This is the worst sling of a pun I’ve ever seen.” The video portrayed a completely unknown side of Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson messing up his lines is a rare sight but humorous enough to make the fans fall on the floor laughing. Emily Blunt and Johnson share a good friendship as well, and it was evident when the former showed her belief in Johnson winning an Oscar in the future.
