AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made a surprise appearance at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. On Monday, April 10, the wrestler-turned-actor took to his Instagram account to share a photo of him surprising tourists at the theme park on Jungle Cruise ride earlier this month.
"Surprise! Once I committed to our Disney partners to make the movie based off the JUNGLE CRUISE ride, I wanted to dive head first into the research. So I headed to Walt Disney World and surprised tourists by commandeering the JUNGLE CRUISE boat," he wrote in the caption.
The 44-year-old actor headed to Disney World to conduct some fun research for his upcoming adventure movie titled "Jungle Cruise". He made his visit on the Jungle Cruise ride just days after news broke that he'd be producing and starring in the flick that's based on the popular theme park attraction.
"It was a GREAT day on the river," Dwayne continued. "Learned a lot.. for example, it takes approximately 12.6 minutes for all the passengers to get over the shock of me jumping on the boat and thinking I'm a DJ look-a-like. One passenger even said, 'Oh the real Rock is much smaller than this guy,' " he joked. "I threw his ass off the boat."
"Jokes aside (and yes, with me as the Cruise Skipper there will be an abundance of puns) this is such an amazing, fantastical and cool world to build out," he said. "Best part about this surprise research day was knowing how FUN of an experience we're gonna work hard to create for families around the world."
"That's the part that gets my excited the most. The movie. The ride. The experience. It's the cruise of a lifetime. And trust me, you'll want me as your Skipper. Just don't forget to bring the Skipper's beer," the "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" actor added, before concluding, "Next step... we find our visionary director."
"Jungle Cruise" is set to start production in spring 2018. In the meantime, Dwayne can be seen in "The Fate of the Furious", which hits theaters across the nation this Friday. He will appear alongside Zac Efron in "Baywatch", which is set for a May 25 release, and along with Nick Jonas in the new "Jumanji" movie, which will arrive in U.S. theaters on December 20.
