Hollywood star Emily Blunt has detailed her relationship with The Rock and revealed the WWE gift she received that would have made a lot of fans very jealous.
The Academy Award nominee previously worked with the former World Champion on the Disney movie Jungle Cruise and will reunite once more in The Smashing Machine, a biopic about UFC fighter Mark Kerr. To show his gratitude, Rock has given Blunt a lot of gifts.
Appearing on Howard Stern, The Fall Guy actress revealed that she has been given sportswear and tequila on numerous occasions:
“He’s given me lots of gifts. He and the producers got me this beautiful ring that I love at the end of the press tour. He sends me endless tequila. He sends me a lot of sports gear,”
Blunt also confirmed that The People’s Champion also gifted her WrestleMania tickets, which was also the show where he made his return to the ring after 8 years. Blunt stated that she did not attend as she had never seen Rock wrestle before:
“I watched it at home. I did not go watch it live. I wanted to, but I felt….I had never watched him wrestle. My brother was obsessed with WWE growing up. It is one of those surreal moments where I remember that as a kid, walking into our TV room and my brother is mainlining The Rock, and then I’m working with him years later. It’s wild.”
The Rock’s Return Could Have Been A Lot Different
A major part of the main event scene in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, Rock at first looked to be Roman Reigns’ challenger before the company pivoted and had The Great One align with The Tribal Chief to try and prevent Cody Rhodes from finishing the story. According to a recent report, shocking plans involving The Rock were scrapped.
Additionally, The Rock is set for a high-stakes showdown at WrestleMania 41.
