The Rock Kissed Danny DeVito’s Head and the Internet Melted — Jumanji 3 Wrap Up!

There’s sentimental. There’s sweet. And then there’s Dwayne Johnson planting a kiss on Danny DeVito’s bald head on the set of Jumanji 3 while calling him a brother, a legend, and a privilege — and then sneaking in a joke about exfoliation.

On February 16, 2026, The Rock took to Instagram to announce that Danny DeVito had officially wrapped his scenes for the final Jumanji film, and the tribute he posted instantly broke the internet.

Jumanji 3 Post That Made Everyone Feel Something

Johnson shared three behind-the-scenes photos from the set, including a now-iconic candid of him leaning in to kiss DeVito’s head — a moment that perfectly captured their genuine off-screen bond. A striking black-and-white shot of DeVito walking away from a packed room, cane in hand, with cast and crew looking on, felt cinematic enough to be its own movie poster.

In the caption, Johnson wrote that working with and learning from DeVito had been an honor, and that calling him a friend would always be a privilege. He thanked DeVito for his “anchoring heart and JOY” throughout the franchise, and then — very much on brand — ended with a playful nudge to “keep smilin’ and keep exfoliating the top of your head.”

Fans flooded the comments within hours, praising DeVito’s warmth and the undeniable chemistry that has defined this franchise.

The Final Chapter of a Billion-Dollar Franchise

Dwayne Johnson confirmed that Jumanji 3 will be the final film in the modern franchise — calling it a “beautiful grace note.” The story picks up after The Next Level, with the video game bleeding into the real world. Johnson has also hinted at a subtle tribute to Robin Williams — the beloved star of the original 1995 Jumanji — through a dice necklace worn by his character Dr. Smolder Bravestone throughout the film.

DeVito, who first joined the franchise in The Next Level as Eddie Gilpin, has brought irreplaceable warmth and deadpan comedy to the series. At 81, his contributions have made this reboot far more emotionally layered than your average blockbuster.
