Although the movie, Jungle Cruise failed to grab people’s admiration, one element of the movie that did, was the lead couple of Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. The chemistry the two shared was on point, both on and off-camera. The promotional interviews the duo did further revealed to the people, how much fun they had while filming. Thus, in a press tour to promote their Disney theme park ride-inspired movie, the two went too far with a joke, that Disney thought wasn’t appropriate, hence, ordered them to dial it down a bit.
While Dwayne Johnson was being profiled for Vanity Fair magazine, he revealed how much trouble the duo got in for the sake of an an*l beads joke.

The Rock has no sense of boundariesThe man, the myth, the legend is not always the proper gentleman, everybody thinks Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to be. The former wrestler, although known for his stealth, has one side that his fans have recently been familiar with, which is his daring fun side. Be it his banter with Kevin Hart, or Emily Blunt, one thing that is very evident is that The Rock knows how to have fun, and has a great sense of humor. Blunt thus previously revealed, that the actor enjoys pushing boundaries to make his peers burst out laughing. And he is often successful at it. Emily Blunt stated,
“He has no boundaries whatsoever,–He’s a very confusing person because he’s the most polite gentleman in the world, and then he will just push the boundaries until he is saying things that will just make your head spin to make you laugh—I think that he’s got this rebellious kid in him that won’t be straitjacketed.”

Thus, they have no problems going over the lines they would worry about with others. That is what exactly got them both into some trouble when the Jungle Cruise duo engaged themselves in a harmless banter and decided to top one another while answering a question.

Emily Blunt and The Rock got into trouble for making s*xual jokesOne thing that really hypes people up for a movie, is the cast’s media moments. Thus, to make the ones count, they decided to keep things light and breezy. Thus, their decision to go the banter route got both Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson into some hot waters with Disney. The duo seemingly had a lot of fun while filming their Disney film, Jungle Cruise, and became best of buds.
The two are undoubtedly great actors and play off of one another well when it comes to funny scenes. So naturally, during an interview, when they were asked what is the one thing that they would bring with them to the forest, the answer made people laugh out loud while making Disney nervous in the process.
Emily Blunt and The RockTo answer the previous question, Dwayne Johnson suggested his co-star bring Vagisil with her, but little did he know, Blunt also got the perfect comeback ready in no time. Suggesting he carry an*l beads. Although this moment of banter made everyone around them laugh, it failed to work its magic on Disney. Johnson recalled in his Vanity Fair profiling,
“I can’t tell you how quick we got those calls: ‘We really love your chemistry and what you guys are doing—but can we dial it back a little bit on the an*l beads?’”
When the two come together their sense of humor is sort of peculiar, which many may fail to understand. Accordingly, they carried out Disney’s request, and this only made matters worse, as the joke is now immortalized on the internet and the reaction of its production house made it far more unforgettable.
Jungle Cruise is available on Disney+ to stream.
