Johnson, in a recent Twitter post, revealed that he was the original choice, even before Kevin Hart, to host the gig: “I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever,” Johnson tweeted. “We all tried hard, but couldn’t make it work since I’m shooting ‘Jumanji.’ Academy and I were super bummed but maybe one day down the road.” I do wonder what kind of dirt would have been unearthed on the guy. After all, he did make a career as a wrestler in Vince McMahon’s raunchy WWF/WWE. No one is left unscathed in these Robespierre-like times. Contribute Hire me
