“The success of MOANA 2 was beyond our wildest dreams, but the most gratifying part of our Moana journey was inspiring young people – and adults too – to go beyond the reef and always have the courage to reach for more out of this crazy thing we call life,” stated Dwayne.
Concluding the post, the Jungle Cruise star added, “I’m a lucky guy to get to work with this Disney team and grateful to be a part of building our Moana universe.”
