Dwayne Johnson and Jeff Bridges recently paid tribute to the late Robin Williams, recalling fond memories and highlighting his enduring cinematic legacy.
Johnson confessed to taking a meaningful souvenir from the set of his upcoming film, Jumanji: Open World, which connects directly to the original 1995 movie.

Speaking to People.
com, the actor detailed the specific item he kept: one half of a pair of dice used in the original Jumanji.
“The last prop that I took from set was the dice that I wore in Jumanji,” Johnson said.
He admitted that despite standard rules regarding production equipment, he decided to keep the piece for himself.
When production crew members inquired about the missing prop, Johnson deflected the question to avoid returning it.
In addition to the Jumanji souvenir, Johnson noted he also took Maui's magical fishhook from the live-action Moana set, though multiple copies prevented any complications.
Earlier this year at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Johnson honored Williams during a Sony Pictures presentation at Caesars Palace.
“This whole franchise would not have started or happened or kicked off in this really beautiful way without one man, and that's Robin Williams,” Johnson said.
He further explained how the prop served as a direct connection to Williams during the announcement of the film's title.
Johnson also shared an Instagram video recorded in November during the initial stages of filming to show the symbolic tribute on set.
