Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson stole the late superstar Robin Williams’ dice from the upcoming film âJumanji: Open World’ and then lied about having it
The 54-year-old actor previously revealed the game piece he wears around his neck as Dr. Xander ‘Smolder’ Bravestone in the upcoming film paid homage to the late screen legend because he had used it in the original 1995 Jumanji film
He told people.com: “The last prop that I took from set was the dice that I wore in Jumanji. That is one half of a pair of dice that they used in the original, OG Jumanji. There’s a big scene where the dice are slow rolling, and it’s slow motion and it’s so dramatic. One half of those dice – Die? Dice? – my character wears in the film
“And I took that home. Props, they’re always amazing, but you gotta give that back.”
Crew members asked Johnson to return the souvenir, and he moved quickly to change the subject, reports femalefirst.co.uk
He said: “They were like, âHey DJ, do you have theâ¦?’ And I was like, âNah, I gave it – I don’t – ah, I got to go.'”
The star also confessed to taking Maui’s magical fishhook from the live action Moana film, but there were multiple versions of that particular prop so he avoided getting into trouble
Earlier this year, Johnson paid an emotional tribute to Robin Williamsas the cast of the new Jumanji movie gathered at CinemaCon to reveal the film’s full title
Speaking at the Sony Pictures event at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace, he said: “This whole franchise would not have started or happened or kicked off in this really beautiful way without one man, and that’s Robin Williams.”
Discussing the nod to the comedy star in the upcoming movie, he said: “If you don’t know already, it’s one half of the original dice that was used in the original Jumanji Robin, as we like to say, this one’s for you.”
He also showed off the “Easter egg” nod to Robin Williams, who took his own life in 2014 at the age of 63, when filming started onJumanji: Open World
Speaking in November, he said in an Instagram video: “Little day one of Jumanji excitement. That was cool. As you see, a little easter egg for Dr. Bravestone. This is the dice from the original Jumanji with Robin Williams, as a show of respect. And a way of honouring Robin and this entire franchise that he started as we film our very last Jumanji. Big finale. Here we go, let’s shoot!”
