Rippa joked that she's never seen a man who both men and women are both in love with. Johnson thanked her and said it's a gift.
Rippa asked about his workout regimen. He said that he works out five days a week and when he's on set, he gets up early, sends out a morning Tweet, has breakfast and works out before he goes to shoot. O'Connell told a story about being at the same supermarket deli counter as Johnson in California waiting for two pounds of macaroni salad and being completely embarassed when Johnson's two pounds of lean turkey meat came.
Johnson said that he loves working out as a way to launch his day, whether its yoga or weightliting. He said that it allows you to anchor your day and for him, he prefers to move "iron." Rippa asked if that started during his football days. Rippa flirted with him about "moving his iron" and Johnson quipped that there were many definitions. Rippa got Johnson to show off his tribal tattoo and O'Connell mocked her by gushing and asking for Johnson to show them more.
After a commercial, they showed Johnson bouncing his pecs in the new film, then played it back in slow motion for laughs.
Johnson said that they wanted to move an epic adventure movie that families could enjoy. He said he's spent the last few films playing darker roles hunting bad men down and he wanted to do something big if he was going to go back to the family genre. He said that they were the first film to use James Cameron's Avatar 3D cameras. They shot the film in Hawaii where they filmed Jurassic Park.
Johnson said that he grew up in Hawaii and it represents struggle to him because his family was often living paycheck to paycheck, so to go back there was very emotional.
They showed a clip of Johnson punching a giant lizard and it not working out too well for him from the film.
No mentions of WWE or Wrestlemania, but your usual smooth appearance from Johnson.
