Dwayne Johnson has announced the newest actor to join him on the Jumanji sequel/remake thingy.
Simply stating on Instagram that ‘we had to find a girl’, the muscly actor went on to praise Karen’s ‘chutzpah’ ‘guts’ and ‘talent’, adding that she was tuff enuff to hang around with the lads on set.
Well that’s alright then.
Meanwhile he described himself as ‘the big, brown, bald tattooed guy who just simply stands there and oooooozes smoldering, captivating, sizzling, can’t take your eyes off this brilliant manly man’.
Maybe Johnson has been taking creative writing lessons from The Game?
He went on: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud… Read the full story
