Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s hulking frame is now becoming too big for his own good.
On Sunday, the former WWE superstar shared a hilarious story of how the director of his new movie, Red Notice, had to re-shoot an entire car chase sequence because he was too big to fit into a Porsche Taycan sports car.
“Guess who’s too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around,” Johnson said.
“For our Netflix globe trotting heist movie, RED NOTICE, my writer/director Rawson Thurber (pictured here on the ground setting up the new camera angle) wrote this INSANE chase sequence where I hop in this iconic Porsche and be the bad ass behind the wheel that I am.
“Well, after months of prep and costs buying and shipping this car over to the states – it’s time to rehearse the big chase sequence.”
Johnson went onto describe how Thurber asked him to get in the car, but he couldn't fit because of his wide back and that he felt like a "big ass brown marshmallow getting shoved into a coin slot."
"After about 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence, Rawson, myself and the entire crew just started laughing our asses off!" Johnson added.
"F--- it. Welcome to 2020."
Fortunately, Johnson said Rawson did manage to find a "creative" way to get the shots he needed in the end, meaning the sequence won't have to be entirely cut from the film.
Red Notice, which also stars Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, is expected to hit Netflix in 2021.
