Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson revealed he was the Academy’s first choice to host this year’s Oscars, but the scheduling did not work out because he was filming “Jumanji 2.” The Rock’s “Jumanji” co-star, Kevin Hart, did not have the same filming conflicts and wound up accepting the gig, but later stepped down after his Twitter comment controversy.
Ah mahalo dude, I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever. We all tried hard, but couldn’t make it work since I’m shooting Jumanji. Academy and I were super bummed but maybe one day down the road 🥃 https://t.co/eiiMuBNOzb
