“Jungle Cruise” star Emily Blunt rode the classic 1955 Jungle Cruise boat ride for the first time with co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during the world premiere of the new movie at Disneyland — admitting she was a little embarrassed by the oversight.
“I guess I don’t do my research,” Blunt told the Hollywood Reporter.
Disneyland hosted the “Jungle Cruise” movie premiere over the weekend with a red carpet arrival that featured Blunt, Johnson and co-stars Edgar Ramírez. Jack Whitehall, Veronica Falcon and Sulem Calderon.
Blunt and Johnson first stepped foot on the Disneyland red carpet after climbing off the Jungle Cruise boat ride in Adventureland — the maiden voyage on the attraction for the actress who plays an intrepid explorer in the film.
What did Blunt think of her first ride on the Jungle Cruise?
“It was beautiful and nostalgic and magical and whimsical and fun,” Blunt told the Hollywood Reporter. “It was surreal riding it knowing that we’re in the movie of it. It was weird for me. It was kind of mad.”
Johnson, who plays a riverboat skipper in the new film, is a much bigger fan of Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise ride.
“This one, you can’t get him off a Jungle Cruise ride,” Blunt told the Hollywood Reporter. “Fifty times he’s been on it. Loves a pun and loves the ride.”
Johnson enjoyed sitting next to Blunt on her first trip on the Jungle Cruise ride.
“The ride is really a distilled-down, charming version of the movie,” Johnson said on the red carpet. “I loved sitting next to her in the boat watching her watch all of these elements of Jungle Cruise that are so rudimentary.”

Blunt was pleased to remind everyone watching the livestream of the “Jungle Cruise” red carpet arrivals that Johnson got stuck on Disneyland’s Mad Tea Party tea cups.
“It was hilarious,” Blunt told the Hollywood Reporter.
The “Jungle Cruise” movie premiere took place in Disneyland’s Fantasyland Theatre — which was outfitted with seat cushions and seat backs attached to the outdoor theater’s metal bench seats.
After the premiere, the film’s stars were treated to an Adventureland after party with rides on the Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones Adventure and Pirates of the Caribbean.
During the event, Blunt had her first Dole Whip — which did not end well.
“I’ve spilled Dole Whip all down my jumpsuit,” Blunt said during a video posted to The Rock’s Instagram account.

The often-delayed “Jungle Cruise” movie debuts in theaters and for an additional fee on Disney+ on July 30. Disneyland updated the Jungle Cruise attraction to remove racist stereotypes from the 1955 boat ride in anticipation of the movie premiere.
