Dwayne Johnson told Jamie Foxx, “Being nice is literally the easiest thing to do. It’s the easiest, compared to being an a**hole to people. You have an opportunity to make somebody’s day.”
He continued, “I remember when I came to Hollywood, I won’t mention their names. There were people I was so excited to meet. I’m like, ‘Hey, Good to meet you,’ and then I kind of got blown off, they were like, ‘Get the F*** Outta here. That s*** is real!”

Especially with Indiana Jones, what I loved about that character was that he was able to kick a**, it was always fun to kick a**, but then there was a charm. But he loved and celebrated women. When he saw a beautiful woman, he was gonna go!”
