Dwayne Johnson Shares Why His Moana Role Was “Jarring” for His Kids | E! News

Disney’s Moana is making waves once again, this time in live‑action—and the cast is exclusively sharing with E! News’ Will Marfuggi what it took to bring the beloved story to life. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is stepping back into the role of Maui, but the transformation might surprise fans. Instead of relying on his real‑life physique, Dwayne revealed he wore a massive 40‑pound bodysuit to fully capture the larger‑than‑life demigod. The fun didn’t stop there. The 54-year-old also shared that his kids had a hilarious and unforgettable reaction to seeing him with Maui’s signature long, curly hair—proving that even at home, the transformation was pretty wild. Meanwhile, newcomer Catherine Laga’aia, who takes on the role of Moana, is embracing the legacy of the iconic character. She revealed she received a heartfelt and encouraging message from original Moana voice actress Auli’i Cravalho before filming, calling the support incredibly meaningful as she stepped into the role.
