Dwayne Johnson just loves moana!
The 52-year-old wrestler-turned-actor expressed that he enjoys sharing Polynesian culture through the Disney animated film, whose titular star is of Polynesian descent.
Admitting that he is a fan of films that represent culture, Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” said MY! News“The thing about ‘Moana,’ and I think the success of ‘Moana,’ and I want to thank everyone, has been this global acceptance of our Polynesian culture, and it’s really cool.”
“Of everything I love about Moana, what I love most is that my daughters, my three daughters, see themselves in Moana,” she further detailed how she also admires films that preach empowerment. And I think this idea of uplifting and empowering our young women and how important that is.”
The Fast and the Furious star continued, “And I can run around, with my hair long like Maui, and say ‘Cheehoo’ and cheer on our young girls; it’s amazing.”
Previously speaking with the same media about how moana 2which was released on November 27, 2024, covers the topic of “female empowerment.” Dwayne Johnson mentioned: “I think the main thing about ‘Moana’ is this idea of female empowerment, and this idea that we’re always saying, ‘What is it?’ Is it like being on the reef and looking beyond the reef?'”
