Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took playful jabs at his good friend Kevin Hart during Netflix's Roast of Kevin Hart on May 10. The event, held at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, was a star-studded affair featuring appearances from celebrities like Chelsea Handler, Tom Brady, and Lizzo. Johnson, known for his quick wit and acting chops, didn't hold back when it came to teasing Hart's wife, Eniko.
The former WWE superstar, 54, quipped about Eniko's acting skills, suggesting she deserved an Academy Award for her role in pretending to enjoy her husband. "I want to just take a moment to give a shoutout to all the ladies up here on this dais," Johnson began. "You all look beautiful, magnificent, sexy. You know who else looks sexy? Kevin’s wife, Eniko." He continued, adding a cheeky suggestion that the two could connect over some tequila.
The roast was part of the closing night for the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, hosted by Shane Gillis. Comedian Chelsea Handler joined in the fun, poking at Hart's height with a quip suggesting Eniko might want a taller partner. The night continued with more humor from stars like Usher, Pete Davidson, and Lizzo, all adding their own comedic flair.
In a final jab, Johnson revealed he got a life-size Kevin Hart tattoo in an indiscreet place, jokingly offering to show Eniko later. Hart, playing along, reacted with mock outrage, leading to a hilarious back-and-forth with Johnson.
Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson have had a long-standing friendship, famously collaborating on the Jumanji series. They're set to reunite on the big screen once again in Jumanji: Open World, hitting theaters this Christmas. As always, their camaraderie was evident throughout the roast, proving that their humor and bond are as strong as ever.
“But you’re the one who said, ‘Hey, listen, f---ing say anything you want!’” Johnson playfully reminded Hart onstage.
With an evening packed full of laughter and camaraderie, the roast proved once again why Hart and Johnson are among Hollywood's favorite comedic duos.
