Dwayne Johnson poked fun at pal Kevin Hart’s height on The Graham Norton show on Friday.
The pair have appeared together in several films including Jumanji, Central Intelligence, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
So it didn’t come as a surprise that Dwayne felt comfortable enough to gently tease his frequent collaborator Kevin.
Talking about his unusually small size compared with the giant characters in his upcoming movie Red One, Graham asked if he found it odd not being the tallest person for once.
He jokingly said: ‘I really noticed what it was like to have to look up to others for a change – I noticed that this is what Kevin Hart’s life is!’

Dwayne was joined on the Graham Norton Show by Lucy Liu, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez, Jharrel Jerome and Celeste.
It comes as height seems to be a hot topic after Gary Barlow and his son Daniel went viral after the Take That singer shared a family snap of his son towering over him.
Gary barely reaches his son’s shoulder in the wholesome photo, which Gary originally posted to mark Father’s Day in June 2023.
Memes have flooded the internet with jokes about Daniel’s height, but in reality, the 24-year-old is only a few inches taller than the average British man.
The average height for a man in the UK is 5’9, and 5’3 for a woman.
Daniel, who is pursuing a career in medicine, comes in at an impressive 6’2, but seems taller next to his ‘short king’ father. But in reality, Gary is only a few inches shorter than average at 5’7.
Elsewhere, a picture of Bear Grylls and his rarely seen son Marmaduke has resurfaced as the 18-year-old dwarfed the adventurer, 50.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is currently promoting his new film Red One, which he stars as the North Pole security chief, who finds himself faced with a crisis when Santa Clause is abducted.

Dwayne’s character Callum Drift joins forces with bounty hunter Jake O’Malley, played by Chris Evans, to retrieve the kidnap victim.
Red One features a star-studded cast including Mad Men alumna Kiernan Shipka, Big Mouth co-creator Nick Kroll and Cheaper By The Dozen actress Bonnie Hunt.
The film was helmed by Jake Kasdan, who previously directed Dwayne in Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and its sequel Jumanji: The Next Level.
Jake is the son of Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote Raiders Of The Lost Ark and co-wrote multiple Star Wars films including The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi.
Red One was meant to come out five days before Christmas last year, and at the time was only planned to be dropped on Prime Video.
However, the Hollywood strikes caused the movie to be postponed to this month, and it is now slated to receive a theatrical release.
At a recent press conference, Lucy revealed that she was initially told she would not be doing much screen fighting in Red One – only to then discover the opposite.

‘I had spoken to Jake and asked if I needed to prep anything. He said, no, maybe she’s gonna throw a kick and maybe a punch. That’s it. You’re just the boss lady, and then that’s all it’s gonna be,’ said Lucy, according to Movies.ie.
‘I show up to the set, we are doing the costume fittings, and then the stunt coordinator comes in, and he says, I just want to give you a little bit of a previz of what we’re gonna do. He shows me this entire action scene. I kicked in; it was like I was alive again. I hadn’t done it in a long time, but it just came back to me.’
The Charlie’s Angels star added: ‘I love watching action movies. I grew up watching them, and being on the screen, doing action is so exciting, and I think it gets kids excited, girls excited, and women excited.’
Red One bowed in the United Kingdom on November 6 and will be released in movie theatres in the United States next week on November 15.
