Since the moment they met, Priyanka and Dwayne have been in perfect sync with one another.
“I love this woman. And it’s funny because the way Baywatch came to us all, I really feel like it’s kind of this really cool universal energetic thing that happened. And not necessarily with the movie but with the fact of how Priyanka and I got connected. (…) As she came over [to the United States], she was over here, signed with our agency, my agent in particular” said Johnson
