Dwayne Johnson reveals he was the first choice to host Oscars this year

Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he was the first choice of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to host the upcoming Oscars ceremony.
“Ah mahalo dude, I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever. We all tried hard, but couldn’t make it work since I’m shooting Jumanji,” the actor wrote.
“Academy and I were super bummed but maybe one day down the road,” he added.
