The Rock Meets Shaq: Hilarious Troll of Kevin Hart Steals the Show!

BBG News

When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is typically the top name on the 2025 movie lineup and usually the largest presence in any room, he understands when it’s appropriate to show respect to a true colossus. Even the current and former People’s Champion acknowledged this recently, with a smile (and a playful jibe at Kevin Hart). You guessed it; The Rock had a friendly encounter with Shaq, and as fate would have it, he didn’t miss an opportunity to tease his Jumanji co-star.

In a set of Instagram photos shared by Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA great showcased an intriguing backstage encounter with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a visitor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. What caught attention? The striking size disparity. Standing beside Shaq, Johnson appeared remarkably, if we may say so, of average stature. Unsurprisingly, the actor-turned-wrestler playfully capitalized on this moment to tease his longtime buddy in the comments section.

Got me out here lookin’ like Kevin Hart 😂 Love U big brother 👊🏾

I can attest that Dwayne Johnson isn’t overstating things when he compares himself to Shaq – take a look at the images, and you’ll see what I mean!

The remark made by The Rock sparked an immediate flurry of more than 30,000 ‘likes’ and a torrent of fan reactions. Here are some of the comments from enthusiastic fans that caught my eye:

  • Kevin catching strays 😂 – Allover4u
  • Let kevin live😭😭😭 – howtime_jayy1
  • Your shoulder height at least not talking to Shaq’s nuts like Kev Hart 😂😂😂 – mikuito73288
  • Came to say now the rock knows how [Kevin Hart] feels 😂😂– Chris._.ams
  • Kevin would be up to his knee. 😂 – anyrambod

In my perspective as a movie enthusiast, a multitude of commentators tagged Hart, seemingly anticipating one of his renowned witty comebacks. At the moment, the versatile comedian-turned-Hollywood star remains silent on this matter, but I find myself buzzing with eagerness to see what he might say!

They’ve turned their playful banter into a secondary career, using social media, interviews, and public appearances to poke fun at each other. From Dwayne Johnson joking about Kevin Hart’s height or action films to Hart making fun of Johnson’s bald head, “presidential energy,” and “Black Adam” role, their friendly rivalry has become one of the most cherished celebrity friendships in Hollywood (and some say it’s all a clever scheme).

This recent social media incident underscored something intriguing as well: the sheer size of Shaquille O’Neal. Standing at over 7 feet and tipping the scales at more than 300 pounds, the ex-Lakers player towered not only over Johnson but also his associate. It’s hardly unexpected that such a box office titan would feel the need to make light of the situation. When even an action star who stands 6’5″ and weighs 260 pounds appears miniature, there’s really just one course of action: poking fun at it.

Without a doubt, the actor from Rampage has consistently excelled at blending humor with stardom. Whether he’s marketing a billion-dollar franchise or launching a tequila brand, The Rock never fails to poke fun at himself or involve his friend Hart in the joke.

As a die-hard movie fan, I’m eagerly waiting to see what moves the star of “Ride Along” makes next, especially considering his history of trading barbs with the cast of “Fast & Furious”. He’s got quite the knack for coming back with a hilarious response, so it’s only natural to anticipate another round. Will it be another cleverly edited video using that baby voice filter? Perhaps a meme expertly Photoshopped? Or maybe even a convincing fake text conversation? With Hart, you never know what he might come up with next, and that’s exactly why we can’t get enough!

For now, both stars are keeping themselves occupied. Dwayne Johnson is preparing for a dramatic role in the upcoming Mark Kerr biopic, “The Smashing Machine,” set to release in theaters on October 3. On the other hand, Hart has several projects lined up, one of them being a Netflix comedy titled “72 Hours.
