Dwayne Johnson Responds To ‘Baywatch’ Getting A Razzie Award

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock accepted a special award on the day of the Academy Awards 2018 for the film Baywatch. Unfortunately, it’s not an Oscar, it’s the Razzie award. The Golden Raspberry Awards (or Razzies) are presented to the worst Hollywood films of the year. The Baywatch team was awarded a Razzie Award in the newly-created category of So Bad You Loved It.

The Rock took it to Twitter to post a video of himself gracefully accepting the Razzie award with a good sense of humor.

I was just informed that I, too, am bringing home the gold tonight. No, not an Oscar, maybe one day, but a Razzie,” Johnson said with a smile in the video.

The Jumanji actor joked that the movie is so bad that the award jury panel actually had to create a new category for them.

The new category is a movie so rotten you eventually fell in love with it. I’m not kidding, which means the s–t sandwich you have been eating is so bad that you eventually started to like it,” the actor said. “Look, we made Baywatch with the best of intentions, it didn’t work out like that, but I humbly and graciously accept my Razzie and I thank you critics, fans and at the end of the day, a movie so rotten you fall in love with it, that’s just the way love goes.” You can check out the video below.

Baywatch was also nominated in the worst film category but lost out to The Emoji Movie. Meanwhile, Zac Efron lost the worst actor Razzie award to Tom Cruise in The Mummy.

Talking more about Dwayne Johnson, his film titled, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, has become Sony Pictures second-highest grossing picture ever, following James Bond’s Skyfall.

The Rock will next be seen in the upcoming film, Rampage, which is based on the classic video game of the same name. Rampage will land in theatres on April 20, 2018.
