Moana Actress Auliʻi Cravalho Always Looks Forward To Hang Out With ‘Larger Than Life’ Co-Star Dwayne Johnson
In a recent interview Moana actress praised co-star Dwayne Johnson for being larger than life and shared a funny anecdote from their recording sessions!
Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson are all set to reprise their roles in the highly anticipated sequel to the hit animated film Moana. The former recently spoke about her experience working with the Rock and described him as a great hang out buddy.
Speaking to IMDB, Cravalho shared she had a “blast” working with the actor. “I love that guy. He’s truly larger than life, both on and off the screen,” she added. “He’s very kind. He’s great at his job. I mean, I always look forward to hanging out with him."
Cravalho shared a funny anecdote between the duo during their line recording sessions for Moana 2. She revealed that the Jumanji actor is always on top of his and her lines and whenever she fumbles, he’d leave no chance of teasing her.
"[Any] time I would mess up a line, he’d go, '[clears throat].' What?! It was harder to maintain my composure knowing that he was as on top of my lines as I was supposed to be,” she recalled. Moana was released in 2016 and became a huge critical and commercial success.
Watching Moana, daughter of chief Tui, hoping on an adventure to bring back glory to her island, was inspiring to several young girls. Despite the success Disney didn’t announce follow up projects in the franchise until 2020. The studio revealed that a Disney+ series has been commissioned.
However, there were no developmental updates on the project for years until 2024, when the channel announced that the series had been converted into a feature film, to the surprise of many fans.
Moana 2, the animated sequel to the original film, will take place three years after the events of the first one. Moana will venture into the dangerous waters of Oceania to fulfill a mission she got from her wayfinding ancestors. According to the official announcement, this adventure is “unlike anything she’s ever faced.”
Production on the live-action remake kicked off on August 2 under the working title Canon. Catherine Lagaʻaia will play Moana, John Tui, Frankie Adams, and Rena Owen will round out the cast as Chief Tui, Sina, and Gramma Tala, respectively. Johnson will embody his character Maui, while Cravalho will be on board as producer.
Moana 2 will be released in theaters on November 27, 2024.
