Welcome to the jungle

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, the lead pair of a new Hollywood film that is screening in China, share their experiences of the production, Xu Fan reports.

While Dwayne Johnson, one of the world's highest-paid actors, worked with actress Emily Blunt for the first time in this year's live-action Disney film Jungle Cruise, it was easy to see their chemistry during a recent online news conference with Chinese media.

Johnson and Blunt, who were speaking remotely from Los Angeles, stumbled through a passable rendition of US singer Sam Cooke's Bring It on Home to Me when asked which song they would choose if rendering a duet.

Matching the hilarious tone of the film, a comedic fantasy that premiered in cinemas on the Chinese mainland on Friday, the US actor and British actress recalled the shooting of the movie, adapted from an iconic attraction at Disney theme parks.
