Dwayne Johnson made fun of his friend Kevin Hart’s height on the Graham Norton Show on Friday.
The pair have appeared together in several films, including Jumanji, Central Intelligence, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
So it was no surprise that Dwayne felt comfortable enough to gently mock his frequent collaborator Kevin.
Speaking about his unusually small size compared to the giant characters in his upcoming film Red One, Graham asked if it seemed strange to not be the tallest person for once.
Jokingly, he said, “I really realized what it was like to have to look up to others for a change. I realized that’s what Kevin Hart’s life is like!”

Dwayne was joined on the Graham Norton Show by Lucy Liu, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez, Jharrel Jerome and Celeste.
It comes as height appears to be a hot topic after Gary Barlow and his son Daniel went viral after the Take That singer shared a family photo of his son towering over him.
Gary barely reaches his son’s shoulder in the healthy photo, which Gary originally posted to mark Father’s Day in June 2023.
Memes have flooded the internet with jokes about Daniel’s height, but in reality, the 24-year-old is just a few centimeters taller than the average Brit.
The average height of a man in the UK is 5’9 and that of a woman is 5’3.
Daniel, who is pursuing a career in medicine, stands an impressive 6’2, but appears taller next to his father, the “short king.” But in reality, Gary is only a few inches shorter than average, at 5’7.
Elsewhere, a photo has resurfaced of Bear Grylls and his rarely seen son Marmaduke, as the 18-year-old dwarfed the 50-year-old adventurer.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is currently promoting his new film Red One, in which he plays the head of security at the North Pole, who faces a crisis when Santa Claus is kidnapped.
It was no surprise that Dwayne felt comfortable enough to gently mock his frequent collaborator Kevin.
Jokingly, he said, “I really realized what it was like to have to look up to others for a change. I realized that’s what Kevin Hart’s life is like!”
Dwayne was joined on the Graham Norton Show by Lucy Liu, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez, Jharrel Jerome and Celeste.
Dwayne’s character, Callum Drift, joins forces with bounty hunter Jake O’Malley, played by Chris Evans, to recover the kidnapping victim.
Red One features a star-studded cast including Mad Men alum Kiernan Shipka, Big Mouth co-creator Nick Kroll, and Cheaper By The Dozen actress Bonnie Hunt.
The film was directed by Jake Kasdan, who previously directed Dwayne in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel Jumanji: The Next Level.
Jake is the son of Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark and co-wrote several Star Wars films, including The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Red One was supposed to come out five days before Christmas last year, and at the time it was only scheduled to release on Prime Video.
However, Hollywood strikes caused the film to be postponed until this month and it is now scheduled for theatrical release.
At a recent press conference, Lucy revealed that she was initially told she wouldn’t be doing many on-screen fights in Red One, only to later discover otherwise.
It comes days after Gary Barlow and his son Daniel went viral after the Take That singer shared a sweet family photo of his 24-year-old son towering over him.
A photo of Bear Grylls and his rarely seen son Marmaduke has resurfaced as the 18-year-old upstaged the adventurer, 50, as they posed for a family photo in April.
‘I spoke to Jake and asked him if he needed to prepare anything. He said, no, maybe she’ll throw a kick and maybe she’ll throw a punch. That’s all. You’re just the boss, and that’s it,” Lucy said, according to Movies.ie.
“I show up on set, we’re doing costume fittings, and then the stunt coordinator comes in and says, ‘I just want to give you a little preview of what we’re going to do.’ He shows me this whole action scene. I shot; it was like was alive again. I hadn’t in a long time, but it just came back to me.’
The Charlie’s Angels star added: “I love watching action movies. I grew up watching them and being on the screen, doing action is very exciting, and I think it excites boys and girls and women.”
Red One premiered in the UK on November 6 and will be released in US cinemas next week on November 15.
