Dwayne Johnson has been a prominent figure in the Hollywood industry. His movies and his talent have always managed to mesmerize the audience in one way or another. When interviewing, celebrities might often say more than they’re supposed to, sometimes inclining to things that might cause drama and put them in some serious trouble.
For this exact reason, a PR team is what saves them from getting stuck in a trap they can’t get out of on their own. Similarly, Johnson too had a narrow escape when he was asked a rather personal question which would have caused him to receive backlash had it not been for the exquisite timing of his PR team.
Dwayne Johnson Was Saved By His PR Team From A Personal Question
Most celebrities when asked about their personal lives, choose to be distant and try not to reveal much so that the paparazzi can maintain some form of boundaries. However, it can be just as easy to drift away and answer these questions which might reveal a lot unintentionally. Pain & Gain had been a particularly interesting movie for the actor and the interview had been a success in terms of getting information out of Dwayne Johnson.
During the interview, he had been asked about his newly purchased house in Miami and its location. He was almost ready to reply when his PR team interjected and convinced him not to answer the question, which he too ultimately understood and chose not to elaborate on. While he was almost ready to answer the question back then, he has since been very safe and aware of what he says to the journalists and how he says it. It was his team that initially took care of everything that he says to the public and makes sure that the actor’s reputation remains unharmed.
Dwayne Johnson Was Convinced By Michael Bay To Take Up The Movie
It was a difficult task to get Dwayne Johnson to agree to play a part in Pain & Gain. In fact, he even rejected the role when the script first came to him, eight years before he said yes. Michael Bay had to personally write him a letter explaining as to why is he perfect for the role and that no one could play it better than him.
While he thought he did not so much connect with his character, he ultimately said yes and regardless took up the film. Not only did he end up working with Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie, but his movie gained a lot of positive feedback.
