Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Dwayne Johnson: 'A Christmas movie was on my bucket list'
Caption: Dwayne Johnson: 'A Christmas movie was on my bucket list’. The actor is currently promoting his new film Red One, a festive comedy adventure which sees a team of experts fight to save Christmas after Santa Claus is kidnapped from the North Pole. During a recent appearance on this The Graham Norton Show, Johnson confessed he's always wanted to appear in a festive film. ”It's my first Christmas movie and as an actor I feel it's a bucket list thing now checked off.” Johnson is renowned for his towering height and bulky physique, but in Red One he is dwarfed by several castmates. During his interview, the 6ft 5in star - also known as The Rock - joked about not being the tallest actor on set for once. ”I really noticed what it was like to have to look up to others for a change - I noticed that this is what Kevin Hart's life is!”. Lucy Liu also appears in Red One, with Johnson referring to his co-star as a "born badass”. When asked if she had to get in shape for the fight scenes, Liu insisted her previous movie roles helped her out. When asked if she worked out with Johnson, she replied: ”No not at all. If anything, he could deadlift me. For the big fight scene my muscle memory from previous roles in Kill Bill and Charlie's Angels just seemed to kick in and it all sort of happened.” Red One also stars Chris Evans, J.K. Simmons and Kiernan Shipka and is in cinemas now. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
