The Rock took to Instagram to reveal more details about the film he will star in as well as produce:

"An important thing I want to be honest and bring up is Robin Williams. The love and respect I have for this man is boundless. You have my word we will honour his name and the character of "Alan Parrish" will stand alone and be forever immortalised in the world of Jumanji in an earnest and cool way. I have an idea of what to do and I think his family will be proud. I also think Robin is somewhere lookin’ down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn’t even get my words out.

When Joe was walking the red carpet at the premiere of Game of Thrones Season 6 in Los Angeles, the 38-year-old decided that there was noone else he'd rather take then his mum, which seems to be a recurring theme:

"This is taking me back to my first year at Varsity at Auckland University; so on Orientation Day, mum came with me. I had to line up and get my books and all that, and mum was like "No Joseph, this is not the line for the paper for the business! Come over here, this one!" And I was standing there like "ahhh...…more

Fans of the Sione's Wedding films will lap up this colourful and charming Kiwi-Samoan comedy.

It's the story of Adam (Neil Amituanai), a bit of a feckless slob, who, when he isn't on his Playstation, is asking his long-suffering Mum, "what's for dinner?"

However, his life is turned upside down when he admires a "beautiful" law student, who shares the same bus stop as him. Unable to muster up the courage to speak with her, he hits upon a plan when he overhears that she'd like a real "Island guy". Hopping on the first plane to Apia, he enlists the support of his two cousins – the muscle-bound Mose (Vito Vito) and the more "sensitive" Tavita (Vesui Villiamu). But as well as teaching him how to climb trees, crack open coconuts and weave baskets, they also offer up some more pertinent life-skills and advice.

Coco-Congrats go to the one and only Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson taking back the #1 title of International Box Office Star of 2015.

He's the only Pacific Islander to ever make the Box Office Star list, first receiving the number one spot in 2013. The persistence of the 'Furious' franchise and the strong success of his leading role in sci-fi disaster flick 'San Andreas' have put him back at the top again.

Johnson posted this to his FB to express how he was feeling:
