Kevin Hart delivered hilarious jokes about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s mother
While filming the 2017 hit ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’, The Rock was eager to introduce Kevin Hart to his mother, Ata Johnson. He revealed that he initially thought that Hart would act like everyone else while meeting his mother, by politely introducing themselves.
However, the comedian decided to make the meeting memorable when he pointed at The Rock’s mother and said, “Aye, aye, aye! Aye! When do they let models on set?”
He then playfully reassured her that he was indeed pointing to her and said, “You a model! Yeah! You didn’t tell me your mom was 21! DJ this your mom? Aye!”

According to The Great One, this comment from Kevin Hart made her feel incredible and sparked a lot of workplace visits. Hart then went on to joke that he and Johnson’s mom have great chemistry and a “high level of love” to this day.
How did the friendship between Kevin Hart and The Rock begin?
Now that the friendship between Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stands out as one of the closest friendships in Hollywood, some may ask, how did Kevin Hart and The Rock become friends in the first place?
Well, they actually met at an award show for the first time. A few years later, the duo starred in their first film together, called ‘Central Intelligence’, and the rest, as they say, is history. About 7 years later, The Brahma Bull has revealed that while he has a lot of friends currently, he counts Kevin Hart as one of his closest friends.
However, as The Great One revealed in a podcast, he didn’t always have many friends growing up. According to him, he wasn’t a very good friend at that time. The Rock said that he was a huge fan of Kobe Bryant and respected him for living a disciplined life. He took note of Kobe’s ever-learning attitude and decided to focus on his growth. He then went on to talk about how he is now much more appreciative of his friends, possibly after following a Kobe Bryant-like routine.
Fans of The Rock and Kevin Hart can definitely be thankful for their friendship and hope to see more of them in the future. Some are even hoping for a third Jumanji movie with the dynamic duo. That said, it’s always a blast to see the two of them together, pranking each other and sharing laughs along the way.
