Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson: The Real-Life Friendship Beyond Hobbs and Shaw. In the world of Hollywood, where on-screen rivalries are commonplace, Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson break the mold with their genuine friendship. While their characters may clаsh in the Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, the bond between Statham and Johnson extends far beyond the silver screen.
The duo, who previously shared the spotlight in Furious 7, have formed a close bromance that is evident in their public appearances. From warm embraces to beaming smiles, Statham and Johnson radiate camaraderie. In a candid interview with Entertainment Weekly, Statham highlighted their shared sense of humor, stating, “I think me and Dwayne share a very similar sense of humor.” He playfully added, “The only difference in us is the amount of weight he pushes when he’s doing a bench press.”
Even Johnson couldn’t resist joking about their friendship during an interview with Extra at the Hobbs & Shaw premiere. With a mischievous grin, he quipped, “This relationship that I have with Jason is a lot of fun. With a guy like that… his ego is so big, like his head, you just got to placate the star.”
Their genuine camaraderie shines through in photographs and public appearances, including their celebratory moments at the LA premiere of Hobbs & Shaw in July 2019. The friendship between Statham and Johnson serves as a refreshing reminder that real-life connections can transcend fictional rivalries in the entertainment industry.
