Hollywood
actor
Dwayne
Johnson
says
he
fell
in
love
with
Indian
actress
Priyanka
Chopra
after
the
first
meeting.
The
actor
found
an
instant
connection
with
Bollywood's
'desi
girl'.
"I
love
this
woman,
it's
funny
when
she
came
to
America.
She
was
over
here,
signed
with
our
agency,
with
my
agent,
we
immediately
had
that
connection," Johnson
said
in
an
interview
for
'Now
Showing'.
The
show
will
air
on
Friday
on
CNN-News18,
read
a
statement
from
the
channel.
Johnson
said,
"We
got
on
the
phone,
we
immediately
vibed,
we
share
the
same
DNA,
the
same
ambition...
Not
only
did
I
fall
in
love
with
her,
we
had
this
crazy
idea
that
she
would
be
an
amazing
villain
on
'Baywatch'."
Priyanka
has
made
her
Hollywood
debut
with
a
negative
role
in
Baywatch,
which
has
been
adapted
from
the
1990s' popular
TV
series
of
the
same
name.
Johnson
thinks
she
is
a
great
villain.
He
said,
"I
think
in
order
to
play
a
villain,
the
greatest
of
villains
have
this
great
quality
and
capacity
and
depth,
and
that's
exactly
what
Priyanka
has.
So
it
originally
was
written
for
a
man...
It
is
way
cooler
if
we
flip
that
over
and
made
it
a
female."
Johnson
is
also
impressed
with
Priyanka's
technique
of
work.
"With
Priyanka,
everything
is
considered,
every
little
detail
is
considered," he
added.
Directed
by
Seth
Gordon,
the
film
also
stars
Zac
Efron,
Alexandra
Daddario,
Kelly
Rohrbach
and
Jon
Bass.
The
film
has
released
internationally
and
fared
poorly
with
critics
-
many
described
the
film
as
'shallow',
'stupid',
'misguided',
and
'wantonly
crude'.
But
it
hasn't
dampened
the
spirit
of
the
film's
team.
They
are
busy
promoting
the
movie
in
Berlin
and
London.
Baywatch
will
hit
the
screens
in
India
on
Friday.
