- We about to get blessed by this young man.
He is a box office bully.
When you talk about The Fast and the Furious,
when you talk about Jumanji, Central Intelligence,
the list goes on.
This dude right here is about to electrify us.
Please, welcome Dwayne Johnson in the building!
D! - Where's he at?
- D! - Where's he at?
- D! - Come on brother!
(laughing)
- Dwayne, you look fantastic. - Thank you, man.
How you been?
- I gotta be honest with you-- - Good to see you.
- Man, I gotta say thank you, but from watching you
at this point in your career, when most people
would be like, hey get those cameras away,
I don't wanna talk to anybody,
every single day, you talkin' to the people.
Why is that?
- It's the most important relationship I have.
- Wow.
- Is with the people.
Because I reached a point in my career, I was tired
of trying to be something I wasn't.
- Wow.
- So I was told at that time,
listen, you can't talk about wrestling,
you can't go by The Rock, you can't be as big.
Yeah, it was a lot of things like that.
So finally, I reached a point where I said,
all right, two things have to happen.
I'm going to surround myself with a different
group of people, different management.
And then I'm gonna make sure that I just gotta be me.
- Right, right right.
- I'm gonna be, and if you wanna
call me Rock, you call me Rock.
- 'Cause we didn't know.
I was like, what should I call him?
- No, yes, of course.
- No more Rock!
- No, it's always Rock.
(upbeat music)
- You're the box office bully,
but yet and still there's that playful side--
- Always.
- Where does that come from?
- I love to make movies for the world to enjoy,
and a lot of our friends, they do a great job.
A lot of times they like to discover themselves and scripts.
I'm not doin' that shit.
That's for my therapist.
I will take care of my personal shit.
- Right, right, right, right.
- We've had enough times in the past
where things weren't so good, right?
- Talk about that a little bit, when it wasn't good.
- I was evicted when I was 14 years old,
and then we were forced off the island of Hawaii
to move, of all places, we had to move to Nashville.
And we lived in a little motel.
And I was trying to remain as positive as I could.
- And now your company is called Seven Bucks.
Why is that?
- It's called Seven Bucks.
So my goal was to play in the NFL.
When that didn't happen for me,
I went up to the Canadian Football League.
I played up there.
I got cut from there, flew back down to Miami,
my old man was living in Tampa,
and I called him at midnight when I landed.
I said, "You gotta come get me."
On the way back up to Tampa, I said,
"God damn, let me see how much money I got."
I pulled out my wallet, I opened it up,
I took out a five, a one, and change.
And that's why we have Seven Bucks, Seven Bucks Productions.
(upbeat music)
- Talk about the influences.
- Okay, I'm gonna hit you with them right now, man.
First time, by the way, I've never talked
about these influences.
Let me see, we'll start off with Harrison Ford.
- Wow.
- Especially with Indiana Jones.
What I loved about that character that he did,
he was able to kick ass, right?
It's always fun to kick ass.
But then to have a little charm to it.
- Yeah. - He was in on it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - He would get his ass kicked.
- Yeah, yeah.
- But he loved and celebrated women.
- And he saw a beautiful woman, he was gonna go.
You know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey!
- Welcome to our world
- All this here, shit!
- Just gotta put my jacket on.
(laughing)
Talk about what it means to be positive to everybody.
- So I heard this quote when I was 15,
and, back in the lean days, and the quote was,
"It's nice to be important,
"but it's more important to be nice."
- Wow.
- Just like it happened yesterday.
I thought, if I'm ever important one day,
I'm going to be nice to people, if I'm ever important.
Because I just always wanted to apply that--
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I just loved hearing that, and honestly, brother,
being nice, I always say this to people being nice and kind
is literally the easiest thing we can do.
- Wow.
- It's the easiest compared to being an asshole to people.
- Oh, man.
- And not only that, but then also, the last thing is
you have an opportunity to make somebody's day
and I remember when I met a few people
when I came to Hollywood, I won't mention their names,
there's no need to, but when I met them
I was so excited to meet them.
I was like, oh!
- Uh-oh.
- So you have the stories too.
- Uh-oh, I had a few, uh-oh.
- I'm like, "Hey, good to meet you!"
And then I kind of got blown off, and I was like--
- Get the fuck outta here.
- Yeah, it was that kind of thing.
- You've gotta speak through somebody.
- Yes!
- Oh, could you tell (mumbles).
Oh, he's not having any, he's not speaking words.
He's only breathing in today.
- [Dwayne] He's not speakin' words.
He's only breathing in, he's not breathing out, so please.
- [Dwayne] Get the fuck outta here.
That shit's real by the way.
- But you know what?
I'm glad that you have the con.
And I'm glad that you are now in the position
to do what we've all been waiting for,
run for president of the United States.
That's right, he's running for
president of the United States.
(laughing)
- We are Off Script, here we go.
- That's right, we are Off Script.
He's running for president.
I am ambassador of the after party.
- Yup!
(laughing)
- I know this is crazy, but you could be president
and then drop over in Afghanistan
and kick ass at the same time.
(laughing)
Wouldn't that be crazy?
To see The Rock, President Johnson
has just jumped out of his own Air Force One.
We thought the other guy was crazy, but--
- We thought the other guy was crazy!
Because this motherfucker's nuts.
- You'd be in the helicopter
with your suit and then just fucking this.
(laughing)
And I say this as joke, but would you ever do that, man?
- I would consider running, yes.
The most important thing I could do
is consider it and then we gotta go to school.
We gotta learn.
Because holding the office any level, local, state, federal,
and then president of the United States,
I would treat that with such an amount of respect.
(hip hop music)
- I know that you have to go,
but I need you to teach me how to say,
"Can you smell what the Foxx is cooking?"
- Oh, this is big.
How committed do we want to go?
- I'm all in.
- Here we go.
If you smell
what the Rock, and then you gotta look,
eyebrow, is cooking.
- Ooh, shit, let's rock this shit!
- C'mon, c'mon.
- That shit made you wanna fight somebody, didn't it?
(laughing)
All right, all right, here we go.
Okay, here we go.
You count out one, two, three.
- Okay, one, two, three.
- If you smell--
- Yeah, c'mon.
- what the Foxx is cooking!
- Oh, fuck yeah.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Skyscraper.
- [Jamie] Let's talk, let's get into it.
- Skyscraper, man, it's a special one.
Rawson Thurber, who is writer director,
he wanted to make this movie, he gave me a call,
and he goes, I have this idea.
It's set in this tallest building in the world.
It's on fire, you cannot come up the elevator.
You can't go through the stairs.
You have to use your brain, figure out a way to get in,
and the fire is on the 90th floor,
so you've gotta get above the fire line
and get in to save your family.
So he pitched me the whole pitch
and I said, "Wow, I love it, I love this idea."
And then he goes goes, "Oh, and by the way."
I say, "Yeah?"
"You're an amputee, you have one leg."
But we are so superhero heavy in our business,
it was nice to go back-- - Go back, right.
- To basic bones-- - Yeah.
- One man.
- One man, one leg, one building.
- One building.
- I cannot wait to see that.
Listen, we're here with Dwayne Johnson.
His movie is Skyscraper.
Can you set the trailer?
- I can, I can.
So here is a clip of me, and some shit's going down.
- Thank you.
Off Script, Jamie Foxx, Dwayne Johnson.
Thank you.
- C'mon, always a pleasure, brother.
(upbeat music)
- Ever miss it?
- [Will] After what happened that night,
I just put my sword down, you know?
I love you.
- You better.
- Mr. Sawyer, after your security assessment,
what do you think of the building?
- [Will] The Pearl is the most advanced
super-tall structure in the world.
- But?
- No one really knows what would happen if things go wrong.
(timer ticking)
(whistling)
(explosion booming)
- Let it burn.
- Get back!
- You don't understand, my family's in there!
- Turn around!
(intense music)
- [Will] We gotta do this together.
- I'm scared.
- [Will] It's okay to be scared.
In order to be brave, you've gotta be a little scared.
I need you to be brave right now, okay?
- Yeah.
(intense music)
