  • Johnson spent 'a couple of hours every day' getting into the Maui bodysuit, which was a closely guarded secret until paparazzi photos leaked, forcing him to come clean about the elaborate costume.
  • Comparing the live-action Maui to the animated version, Johnson says it was an 'eye-opening' experience, likening it to 'getting in my grandfather's skin' as he reconnected with his cultural roots and the 'mana and spirit' of his late grandfather, a Samoan high chief.
