A year ago while promoting The Jungle Cruise, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt appeared on USA today. They shared how they filmed the mouth-to-mouth underwater scene, which looked romantic on screen.

Blunt said, “I have to say when we watch the scene, it’s so beautiful in the movie. But on the day (of shooting), we couldn’t even see each other. It’s very murky there and so I could have kissed anyone. (DJ watch) It was probably one of your stunt doubles.

Johnson jokingly said, “You were kissing my foot. My foot in my mouth.

In a climactic sequence in the film, Blunt’s Lily Houghton and Johnson’s Frank Wolff are tasked with diving from their boat to solve an underwater puzzle. This puzzle was harder than expected.

When they decide to go underwater, Lily is trapped in the puzzle, fighting for air when the two characters use the mouth-to-mouth technique to save themselves. However, it took some clever thinking to force it open and drain the water so the couple could access a secret cave.

Blunt revealed Dwayne Johnson couldn’t swim

While reminiscing about filming the underwater scene, Emily Blunt revealed a secret about Dwayne Johnson. She said Johnson couldn’t swim and drowned underwater like a real rock.

Blunt said, “He’s sinking like a rock. He has no fat on his body, he doesn’t have an ounce of fat floating on him. The man sinks like a rock, I had to love holding him in place.

Well, it’s safe to say that the British actress carried the WWE legend throughout filming on the water. However, this scene lasted two weeks in an underwater setting on a studio in atlanta.
