Watch Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Transformation in Moana Live-Action

2024 Oscars: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Dishes on New Live-Action ‘Moana’ Movie!

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson making waves with her new look.

The 55-year-old was spotted in full costume as his character Maui while filming the live-action remake of Disney’s Moana in Hawaii and he looked almost identical to his animated counterpart.

During the November 21 taping, Dwayne went shirtless – showing off his abs and full chest of tattoos – while rocking a traditional Ti leaf skirt and underarm guards. He topped off the look by donning a whale tooth necklace and tying his long wig into a half-up hairstyle.

And those aren’t the only signature items from Maui that The red one star – who also voices the demigod sidekick in the 2016 animated original and its upcoming sequel – was seen sporting. At one point, Dwayne was also seen wearing his character’s trademark fish hook.

And while the rest of the costumes have yet to be revealed, the cast that will be joining Dwayne on set has been revealed. Back in June, Disney announced that Catherine Laga’aia would take on the title role of Moana, while John Tui will play her father Chief Tui. Plus, Frankie Adams will portray Moana’s mother Sina and Rena Owen steps in as Gramma Tala.
