Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson: Radiant co-stars in Venice

Emily Blunt (42) and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (53) are among the star guests of the Venice Film Festival. The “The Smashing Machine” co-stars were already showing themselves together in the lagoon city on Saturday. On Monday the photocall for her film was coming up.

The duo was in a good mood in front of the photographers. “The Rock” chose a casual look with white linen pants and dark blue polo shirt. Emily Blunt appeared in a baby blue dress with golden straps that brought her narrow silhouette into its own.

“The Rock” visits Venice’s film festival for the first time. In an Instagram clip, he explained how overwhelming this was for him. “Just behave as if you’ve been there before and try to stay cool” – he got this advice. “I tried to do that, but it is difficult for me to grasp me,” said Johnson. “A dream comes true,” he emphasized too.

In the sports drama “The Smashing Machine”, Dwayne Johnson takes over the main role of the wrestler and mixed martial art fighter Mark Kerr (56). Emily Blunt embodies Kerr’s girlfriend at the time. In addition to the athlete’s career, his dependence on pain relievers in the film by director Benny Safdie (39) is also discussed. After the strip in Venice celebrates its world premiere, he should come to the cinemas in early October.

After the fantasy adventure film “Jungle Cruise”, Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson are in front of the camera for the second time. “The Rock” made it clear at the press conference how special the connection between the two is and how important John Krasinski’s wife was in the new project. “From the beginning, since we worked on ‘Jungle Cruise’ together, she really encouraged me and believed in me.” He is very close to Blunt and told her a lot about everything “what I went through,” added Johnson. “And then Benny was on the other side and said: ‘Hey, I’m there for both of you’ ‘and’ Let us try ‘. So this transformation would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of my best friend who simply told me:’ You can do it. ‘”
