Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson was all smiles while his Moana family threw a surprise party on his 52nd birthday earlier this month.
Over the weekend, the professional wrestler-turned-actor took to Instagram to share a video of the special event. Vocal supervisor, Alex Lacmoire, was seen playing on the piano, and director, Thomas Kail, was in attendance as well. The rest of the Moana team was also seen smiling and wishing The Rock a happy birthday.
“I never hard charge into an unknown room,” Dwayne Johnson, who plays the famous demi-god Maui in the films, wrote. “I take it nice and eaze… Never know what’s waiting for ya on the other side – in this case, a very sweet birthday surprise!”
Johnson thanked Dinsey Studio and Team Moana for celebrating his big day.
In the sweet video, Dwayne Johnson is in disbelief as he’s greeted by the Moana crew. “What a day we had putting the song up on its feet,” he stated as his song You’re Welcome played.
“A new version of it, I can’t wait to make this film with you guys. Our live-action Moana, and I will pop this open… to Moana and building the universe of Moana with the best partners in the world. I love you guys,” Johnson told the team before taking a swig of his Teremana tequila.
Along with the live-action remark, Moana is also getting a sequel. Being released later this year, Moana 2 will follow Moana as she journeys to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lasting waters for an adventure unlike anything she has ever faced.
Auli’i Cravalho will be reprising her role as Moana. Alan Tudyk is returning as Hei Hei as well.
Dwayne Johnson is expected to appear in the sequel and live-action remake.
