2024 Oscars: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Dishes on New Live-Action ‘Moana’ Film!
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is making waves with his new look.
The 55-year-old was spotted in full costume as his character Maui while filming the live-action remake of Disney’s Moana in Hawaii, and he looked nearly identical to his animated counterpart.
During the Nov. 21 shooting day, Dwayne went shirtless—showing off his abs and full chest of tattoos—while rocking a traditional Ti leaf skirt and forearm guards. He topped off the ‘fit by donning a whale-tooth necklace and tying his long wig in a half-up hair style.
And those aren’t the only signature Maui items that the Red One star—who also voices the demigod sidekick in the 2016 animated original and its upcoming sequel—was spotted sporting. At one point, Dwayne was also seen carrying his character’s trademark fishhook.
And while the rest of the costumes have yet to be unveiled, the cast set to join Dwayne on set has been revealed. Back in June, Disney announced that Catherine Laga’aia would take on the titular role of Moana, while John Tui will play her father Chief Tui. Plus, Frankie Adams will portray Moana’s mother Sina and Rena Owen is stepping in as Gramma Tala.
