Inside The Rock’s London Life Where He’s Filming ‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff

*Dwayne Johnson celebrated Thanksgiving in London this year — where he’s filming “The Fast and Furious” spinoff film “Hobbs and Shaw” with Jason Statham.

“Word to the bird,” he wrote on Friday, alongside an image of the turkey he and his family feasted on this year.

Britain’s The Sun reports that The Rock has been living with girlfriend Lauren Hashian and their two young daughters, Jasmine, 2, and Tiana, 7 months at a lavish house in Richmond, a little town in Southwest London.

The property features a cinema with oversized pink seating, two swimming pools (one indoor, one outdoor), nine bedrooms, five reception rooms (Brit-speak for living rooms), a tennis court, quarters for staff and a home gym.

He’s also brought his own personalized gym — The Rock calls it the Iron Paradise.

The incredible workout mecca, which contains 40,000 pounds of equipment, travels with him to every film set and in this case has been set up under an enormous white tent on the grounds of his rented mansion where it’s always ready to welcome Dwayne for his daily 5 a.m. workouts (which included a brutal leg day after Thanksgiving).

Dwayne has been riding horses on the spacious rented property.

“Good Thanksgiving hang with Rusty at the crib here in London. This ol’ boy’s a genuine star as he was Russell Crowe’s horse in one of my favorite films, GLADIATOR as well as ROBIN HOOD,” Dwayne captioned a pic of himself on Rusty in his backyard.

The Rock shared with fans that this is the first time he has not celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.

“This Thanksgiving was a unique one,” he explained in a photo of his roasted turkey, “in that it was the first time I’ve ever not been back home in the U.S. of A. But here in London, we still cooked and laid out a big, sweet spread to give our thanks and boundless gratitude for our loved ones.”

Johnson went on to recount that “every Thanksgiving” he reflects on a time 27 years ago when his family was living in Tampa, Florida and were “so piss broke, that we couldn’t even afford to buy a turkey.”

“We were praying someone would invite us over for Thanksgiving,” he added.

Word to the bird ? and a weird thing I have to always keep close. This Thanksgiving was a unique one, in that it was the first time I’ve ever not been back home in the U.S. of A. But here in London, we still cooked and laid out a big, sweet spread to give our thanks and boundless gratitude for our loved ones. The weird thing – is every Thanksgiving I gotta take a moment to remember exactly 27 years ago on Thanksgiving while living in Tampa, Fl we were so piss broke, that we couldn’t even afford to buy a turkey, so we were praying someone would invite us over for Thanksgiving. Well, the universe answered our prayers, because friends of ours called to say Happy Thanksgiving and we were like, “HAPPY THANKSGIVING WE’LL BE RIGHT OVER TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS K BYE!!” They were like, “Uhhh okaaaay great, see you soon?” A Very true and fucking embarrassing story ???‍♂️ I’m weird this way, but remembering shit like this helps me live a better and more grateful life. I’m quite sure I need therapy for this, but until then tequila will be my loving & empathetic therapist. #WordToTheBird #GratefulMan #AintPissBrokeNoMo #Cheers ??

Afterward the festivities, Dwayne saw “Hamilton” in town.

“And I am not throwing away my shot. To close out our Thanksgiving, @laurenhashianofficial took me to see @hamiltonmusical here in London. She had seen it multiple times and this was my FIRST TIME (I know, but I’m a very busy dude;) seeing this extraordinary and iconoclastic piece of art,” he explained on Instagram.

..And I am not throwing away my shot. To close out our Thanksgiving, @laurenhashianofficial took me to see @hamiltonmusical here in London. She had seen it multiple times and this was my FIRST TIME (I know, but I’m a very busy dude;) seeing this extraordinary and iconoclastic piece of art. After the show, we went backstage to meet this crazy talented and passionate cast. I thanked them all for their killer performances, relentless hard work and discipline it takes to become as masterful as they are. When you make something incredibly difficult look easy — that’s when you’ve mastered your craft. Big shout to my brother Lin Manuel Miranda for creating this whole thing and for inspiring me on yet another level. And to the HAMILTON cast members worldwide, THANK YOU for sharing your passions and above all else/ I’m scrappy and hungry and I am not throwing away my shot. Ever. Love y’all and thank ya for being so cool and gracious ?? #HAMILTON #London #ThanksgivingDay
