Dwayne Johnson says it was an 'honour' to work with Danny DeVito as Jumanji 3 wraps

'To call you my friend, will always be a privilege,' The Rock said for the legendary filmmaker

Dwayne Johnson has shared a heartfelt tribute to veteran actor Danny DeVito as he marks the completion of DeVito’s filming on the upcoming Jumanji 3, reflecting on their time together and his deep respect for the Hollywood legend.

Johnson took to social media to celebrate the milestone, posting photos from the set featuring himself, DeVito, and co‑star Kevin Hart. In his caption, he wrote: “That’s an official Jumanji wrap on the one and only, Danny DeVito.” He added, “To work with you, and learn from you has been an honor ~ and to call you my friend, will always be a privilege.”

In the message, Johnson also expressed gratitude to DeVito for his “anchoring heart and JOY” throughout the franchise, and closed with a playful note to his co‑star: “Ps, please keep smilin’ and please keep exfoliating the top of your head.”

DeVito joined the Jumanji cast in 2019 and has been part of the franchise’s revival, appearing alongside returning stars in the latest sequel — which is expected to be the final installment in the rebooted series. Johnson’s tribute highlights not just their professional collaboration but the friendship that developed during filming.

As Jumanji 3 moves toward its release, Johnson’s public praise underscores the respect and admiration he holds for DeVito’s contribution to the film and to Hollywood as a whole.
