Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Johnson claimed it took “about two and a half hours every day” to transform into the demigod, where he donned a wig, prosthetics and bodysuit. He added, “The thing that became a challenge, that I had to work through very quickly, that I didn’t anticipate, was the prosthetics and the hair and then the body. That is an additional 40 pounds on you… that was an adjustment on how to actually work my emotions through the 40 pounds of prosthetics and hair and body that I had on me.” Johnson explained the main challenge while filming Moana was maintaining his physique. He said, “Maui was a big guy, and I couldn't lose the weight because when you lose weight, you lose it [in your neck]. I couldn’t have a big bodysuit and then a small little skinny neck. 40, 50 pounds is a lot to put on. Then it’s a lot to maintain for months… It was gruelling because of the suit and how hot it was. Wait till you see the pictures. In between takes, there’s literally five, six people, all [with] fans, opening me up, [and] pulling my hair back.” Read more: https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/first-look-dwayne-johnsons-grueling-210700119.html Follow us on: ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahooaustralia ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yahoolifestyleau ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yahoolifestyleau ► Website: https://au.yahoo.com/ #YahooAustralia
