The actor added that he and Maui have quite a few things in common, especially them both being "egotistical” and “loud” with a “big mouth."
I have a handle on who Maui is, Johnson added. "I know the voice, I know the man, I know his inspiration. I can access things. I got it."
“The moment I stepped on set … as live-action Maui, I realized right away, ‘Oh, wow, this is different,’ in terms of this is real flesh-and-blood and skin-and-bones,” Johnson said. “It becomes real all of the sudden. It was almost like getting in my grandfather's skin and what that was like.”
Auli'i Cravalho, who voices Moana in animated movies, will serve as an executive producer for the upcoming film. Newcomer Catherine Laga'aia will play the character onscreen in the live-action remake. Thomas Kail, who won Tonys for directing In The Heights and Hamilton on Broadway, directed the live-action film.
Footage from the “I Remember Everything” singer’s Tacoma Dome concert in Washington this past weekend surfaced online after a fan recorded the 28-year-old pausing his performance to call out an unruly person.
After picking up the object, the country singer sent a glaring look in the direction where it came from as he made his way over to the mic to make an announcement.
He gave it a few moments to see if anyone would come forward, or if others would point the person out. Unable to find the individual, Bryan delivered a stern warning instead.
“And if you guys do know who threw it, you need to get ‘em outta here, if we ever find out who did it,” he continued before resuming his show.
Though it was unclear as to why the fan threw the item onstage, Bryan has faced backlash as of late regarding his breakup with former girlfriend Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
Shortly after the singer announced their breakup on Oct. 22, the 25-year-old influencer alleged in a Nov. 7 episode of her BFFs Podcast she co-hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards that Bryan abused her during their relationship.
I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him, LaPaglia continued. "My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad and last week, I didn't want to talk about it 'cause I was scared."
A week later, Bryan had not responded to her public comments, to which she called his silence regarding her abuse claims “deafening” during an episode on her podcast.
Later in the conversation, she added, “I obviously think he’s not responding because if he is to respond, he has to deny it. And if he denies it, then I’m full story, then I post all the videos and recordings.”

Kpop ProfileShe shared with PEOPLE ahead of its release that she was "looking forward to having this book out in the world because I know we are all dealing with the same things."

In a 2021 interview with the Times, he admitted that being in the royal family “has its benefits and it has its negatives,” he said.
“You think about what you do and you have to be aware of it, but it doesn’t necessarily dictate," Mike said. "Zara and I have always been good at getting on with what’s right for us.”
It was Thanksgiving, and Rachel Platten instinctively knew she had much to be thankful for. But while she found herself surrounded by friends and family and feelings of somewhat contagious gratitude, Platten says she couldn’t help but feel completely alone.
I remember feeling so scared that my chronic pain would act up or that I wouldn't make it through the night because of anxiety or something, Platten, 43, tells PEOPLE in a revealing new interview. "It was a very, very dark time."
But this year, Thanksgiving will look much different, as the Emmy Award-winning multi-platinum artist and singer-songwriter will spend the morning performing in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside fellow music powerhouses such as Jennifer Hudson, Kylie Minogue and Idina Menzel.
A couple years ago, I couldn't imagine being out in public, let alone on a float in front of millions of people on national TV, says the "Fight Song" hitmaker. "But look at me now. I was able to make it out of all that pain and instead, I get to shine and be in front of millions of people on Thanksgiving."
