Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is kicking off the holiday season early with his new movie “Red One”!
In the action-adventure comedy, Dwayne stars as Callum Drift, the head of security at the North Pole who springs into action to save Christmas after Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped.
Dwayne stars alongside a star-studded cast of co-stars, including Lucy Liu, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll and Chris Evans.
“I had a great time with Chris, and I had a great time with everybody,” he said of their fun experience working together.
Dwayne added that the festive vibes onscreen made his time on set all the more jolly.
“You should, ideally, [have a good time], because it’s a Christmas movie, and it’s supposed to elicit good feelings,” he said. “So, I think we made a good one.”
Dwayne is known for spreading holiday cheer both onscreen and at home as “Dwanta Claus” for his daughters.
“For the girls at home this Christmas, they’re excited,” he said. “Dwanta’s going to give them gifts, but you know, real Santa Claus is coming, so he’s coming. They’ve written out their lists already.”
Dwayne also shared that he’s especially excited to spend quality time with his kids this holiday season after a busy schedule kept him away from home for months.
“I can’t wait to come home to my girls. Every FaceTime, every single day, they’re like, ‘When are you coming home?’ I’m like, ‘I’m coming home in two days.’ So, I’ll actually be home tonight! I can’t wait,” he shared.
“Red One” hits theaters on Nov. 15.
