Dwayne Johnson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Dwayne Johnson has had several noteworthy developments over the past few days. Most recently, the 53-year-old actor celebrated his Jumanji co-star Karen Gillan's birthday on November 28th while filming on set. Johnson posted a heartwarming video to Instagram showing the cast and crew singing happy birthday, with Kevin Hart holding a cake. In his caption, Johnson called Gillan cool and joked that he was hoping the cake would make Kevin Hart explode like his character does in their film. He added "HBD KG. We love ya" and Gillan responded warmly in the comments.

On the film front, Johnson recently shared exciting news that the upcoming Jumanji movie, slated for December 11, 2026, will be the final installment in the franchise. This marks a significant conclusion to a successful series that has been a major part of his recent filmography.

Beyond the Jumanji universe, Johnson is reportedly very hungry for new challenges. According to recent reports, the Moana star has landed a supporting role in a psychological thriller called Breakthrough from independent film studio A24, signaling his willingness to explore more diverse and challenging material.

On the business side, Johnson recently updated his Instagram with photos of his upcoming Under Armour campaign, keeping his commercial partnerships front and center with his followers.

It's worth noting that Johnson fell victim to yet another death hoax this week, with a fake report circulating online claiming he had died at 47 after a failed stunt. This follows a pattern of similar hoaxes targeting the actor in 2011 and 2014. Johnson debunked the rumor simply by posting to his Instagram, confirming he remains alive and active.

Meanwhile, his recent film The Smashing Machine, which premiered in October, continues to underperform both theatrically and on streaming platforms after its initial weak box office showing. Despite these struggles, Johnson responded philosophically at the time, noting that you cannot control box office results and that the film had changed his life personally.

Overall, Johnson appears to be maintaining an active slate with Jumanji 4 in production, exploring new creative opportunities with A24, and managing various business ventures while navigating the typical ups and downs of a major Hollywood career.
