Johnson is riding a wave of success as the most bankable star in Hollywood – the closest that movies in 2018 have to a sure thing. He throws his hands up, mock-exasperated. What a bummer – and on their special night, too. “Finally they had to move us at, like, three in the morning. “I shut the AC off, we called for earplugs, maintenance came,” Johnson says. It turns out when he got back to the suite around 2 a.m., following a long day of work, Hashian was still wide awake, thanks to a mysterious buzzing near the bed.
Only after we’re out of earshot does he reluctantly relate what happened. On our way to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, we pass a manager who apologizes to him for last night. It took me, like, 15 minutes to get over it.”Īs if to combat this, Johnson carries himself with an abiding gentleness, like a grizzly bear who rolls over so you can rub its belly. “I was shitting myself he looked so intimidating. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God – this guy is frighteningly large,’ ” Peyton says. Director Brad Peyton, who’s worked with him on three films – including the new monster romp Rampage – says the first time they met, Johnson was dressed as Hobbs, from the Fast & Furious franchise. (For the record, a pretty solid pitch for a Dwayne Johnson movie.) Even now, as the most beloved star in Hollywood not named Tom Hanks, Johnson and his giganticness can still give pause. When he was in high school, other kids were suspicious of him because they thought he was an undercover cop. It was funny – we were having dinner with Emily Blunt, who I’m getting ready to work with, and I said, ‘What do you think of Tia?’ And she went – beat, beat, beat – ‘ No one’s gonna fuck with a Tia Johnson.’ ”Įspecially not when her father is Dwayne Johnson, roughly the size of a grain elevator. You’re probably the fourth person who’s heard it. I mean, she could come out any which way, because we’re complete opposites” – she’s fair and delicate, he’s brown and colossal. And I feel like she might come out looking like a Tia. “It’s better than saying the actual number.”ĭo they have a name picked out? “I think we do,” Hashian says. (They make it work.) “Guys don’t mature until much, much later, so it’s nice to be in my fourth level and have babies again.” Fourth level – that’s a new one. “I had Simone when I was 29” – his older daughter, now 16, whom he had with his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, who’s now his manager. “He just gave me the eyebrow,” says Hashian.
“All I did was look at her,” Johnson jokes. “And then all of a sudden I get a text from her with a pregnancy test.” Apparently it didn’t take much. “And Mama don’t wanna take wedding pictures with a big belly – Mama wanna look good.” They weren’t exactly trying to have another baby. “We’re getting it in now before it’s too late.” Johnson, padding around the suite in gym socks and a T-shirt that reads BLOOD SWEAT RESPECT, says he and Hashian were originally going to get married this spring in Hawaii. “We’re in the home stretch,” says Hashian, rubbing her belly – so they left the toddler with the nanny for the night and snuck off for a little romantic getaway. The reason for this uncharacteristic idleness? Johnson and Hashian have a two-year-old daughter, Jasmine, and a second child arriving in a few weeks.
