Actress Auli'i Cravalho opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about her strong connection with her 'Moana' costar Dwayne Johnson
Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have just as strong of a bond as their animated counterparts.
Cravalho added that she and Johnson, 52, have recently been discussing the upcoming live-action Moana film, which will see Johnson reprise his role as the demigod Maui. Cravalho, meanwhile, has passed the torch to Catherine Laga’aia, who will play Moana in the new adaptation. As for what The Rock smells like, Cravalho told Us: “There's, like, a faint sense of vanilla. I don't want to get into the undertones of what must be his cologne, but he's always glistening. … He's a great costar. I have no complaints.”
“I am turning 24 this year, and getting to come back to this character has been really lovely,” Cravalho, who was 16 at the time of the original’s release, told Us. “I get to sing songs that are Disney-fied, but again, there's also growth in a character and I think it's so special that for the first time, we get to see a Disney princess grow up.”Much like the Disney princess, Cravalho also has a strong connection to the ocean thanks to her childhood in Hawai’i.
