The last Oscar gala was one of the most commented on, thanks in particular to the great victory of All at once everywhere, which some moviegoers didn’t take very well. Besides the awards, the ceremony also had other events that ended up going viral, like one that featured two of its guests: Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson’s prank on Emily Blunt at the Oscars

The Film Academy published in its Twitter the photo of a moment spent largely unnoticed during the gala. In the image, Johnson, weighing nearly 250 pounds, can be seen sitting on Blunt’s lap. This event happened just before the duo awarded the Best Animated Feature Award to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. You can see the photo below.

There is no doubt that the actor did not act in bad faith, and it was a little joke that he made to his girlfriend, with whom he has a very close relationship. Most amazing of all, Blunt was able to bear Johnson’s heavy weight without showing any signs of discomfort. As expected, Twitter users were quick to crack jokes. One pointed out that Blunt was run over by a Rock.
