In the animated film “Moana,” Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson voices the character Maui, a legendary demigod. Beyond the allure of salary, Johnson deeply connects with the film’s narrative and its underlying themes.
He sees “Moana” as an opportunity to impart valuable lessons to his children and audiences alike. Through the character of Maui, Johnson seeks to convey messages of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of embracing one’s heritage. He believes in the power of storytelling to inspire and instill confidence in young minds, particularly his own daughters.
By lending his voice to a character that embodies strength, courage, and a sense of adventure, Johnson hopes to leave a lasting impression on his children and inspire them to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
In Maui’s journey alongside Moana, he learns the significance of humility and the value of community, lessons that Johnson hopes his children will internalize as they navigate their own paths in life.
Thus, his involvement in “Moana” transcends monetary gain, driven instead by a genuine desire to leave a meaningful legacy for his children and contribute positively to the world of storytelling.
