Discover the Singular Reason Why Dwayne Johnson Declined Hot Ones According to Sean Evans
Dwayne Johnson may have several movies in the works, but it has been a challenge for the Hot Ones team to get him on their show. Sean Evans recently shared the difficulties they have faced in getting the star on the show, especially considering his unique requests.
During a conversation with Bloomberg, Sean Evans recalled a time when he was close to securing a deal with Dwayne Johnson for the YouTube talk show. However, the actor’s unusual request for grilled salmon strips instead of wings caught the host off guard.
Sean Evans has been pitching the idea to the actor for years, and he mentioned, “One time I got a note back that was like, ‘Would you be willing to do, instead of wings, grilled salmon strips?’ And in my head I was like, that had to come from his mouth.” This was the closest the show had come to having Johnson on as a guest.
Hot Ones is a popular talk show where celebrities answer questions while eating chicken wings dipped in various hot sauces. Many stars have taken on the challenge, including Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Lorde, Conan O’Brien, and Machine Gun Kelly.
Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming project is the holiday action movie, Red One, where he plays the role of Callum Drift, the Head of Security at the North Pole. The film also stars Chris Evans as Jack O’Malley, the world’s most infamous bounty hunter, and Lucy Liu, who kidnaps Evans to help find Santa Claus.
The role of Old Saint Nick will be played by JK Simmons in the film written by Chris Morgan and based on a story by Hiram Garcia. Red One is set to be released on November 15, 2024.
