On May 10, Netflix hosted a sizzling roast of Kevin Hart at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The evening was a star-studded affair featuring appearances by Chelsea Handler, Tom Brady, Lizzo, and more. But it was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson who stole the spotlight with his audacious sense of humor. Known for their close-knit work on the Jumanji series, Johnson and Hart share a unique camaraderie, often marked by playful banter.
The Rock made waves with his NSFW jabs directed at Hart’s wife, Eniko. Johnson, 54, took the mic and playfully referred to Eniko as "sexy" before adding, “You know who else looks sexy? Kevin’s wife, Eniko.” He jokingly suggested that Eniko deserved an "Academy Award" for pretending to enjoy Hart's company. Johnson cheekily proposed a tequila-tasting session with Eniko, much to Hart's mock dismay. "Stop squirming, Kevin!” he teased.
“Just last week, I got a Kevin Hart tattoo on my c---," Johnson quipped, keeping the crowd in stitches. "Yeah, life-size too… Eniko, I’ll show you later. Kidding. She’s already seen it!”
Joining the roasting line-up, Chelsea Handler took a playful shot at Hart’s height, quipping that Eniko might prefer someone "bigger." The evening was filled with laughter and good-natured digs, all in the spirit of fun. Comedian Shane Gillis hosted the show, with performances from Usher, Lizzo, Pete Davidson, and others. The roast marked the closing night of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest.
The night ended with Johnson sincerely expressing his affection for Hart, despite their on-stage antics. The two, who have appeared together in Jumanji films, are set to return to screens in Jumanji: Open World, releasing this Christmas. As Hart humorously exclaimed during the roast, “Why would you say that about my f---ing wife? I want to talk to you later.” Johnson countered with a reminder of Hart's encouragement to be candid, keeping the friendly rivalry alive.
