Dwayne Johnson remains one of the most recognizable actors working in Hollywood today, and is widely known for starring in and producing family-friendly fare. Getting his start as a wrestler in the WWE, Johnson’s first major movie role was as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns (2001), a role he used to springboard into other films like The Scorpion King (2002), The Rundown (2003), and Walking Tall (2004).

Johnson continued his tough-guy acting persona throughout the late 2000s and into the 2010s, appearing in movies like Faster (2010), Snitch (2013), and San Andreas (2015), as well as several Fast & Furious movies. Though he continues to play more serious characters occasionally, the recent years of Johnson’s career have seen him taking on a number of lighter and more comedic roles, particularly in four-quadrant movies for the whole family. When it comes to beloved family fare, there’s perhaps no greater Johnson movie than his 2016 animated adventure.

Moana Art Makes Dwayne Johnson’s Maui A Disturbing Sight

Johnson Is Morphed Into The Body Of His Animated Character

An unsettling Moana art video transforms Johnson into the CGI animated version of Maui. Released in 2016, Moana has since become one of the most popular movies on Disney+, paving the way for a sequel, which hit theaters in November 2024. Both films feature Auli’i Cravalho voicing the title role while Johnson voices Maui, a character he will be reprising in the flesh when the live-action Moana movie hits theaters in 2026.

Though behind-the-scenes videos have already provided some idea of what Johnson will look like as a live-action Maui, a new video shared by artist Isaias Silva on Instagram imagines this transformation going the other way, with Johnson’s features superimposed onto the animated version of the character. The video features Silva stretching and morphing aspects of Johnson’s face and body onto the exaggerated proportions of the animated Maui, with the end result being something surprisingly disturbing.
