John Krasinski Stumped by Dwayne Johnson's Gym Equipment: 'Like Alien Spaceships' (Video)

Dwayne Johnson’s traveling gym, dubbed the Iron Paradise, is so mysterious that even a producer on one of his movies asked John Krasinski to report back to him when the “Jack Ryan” actor worked out in it with The Rock.

“It’s not a trailer, it’s a full gym,” Krasinski explained during his appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Wednesday. “Emily [Blunt] just did a movie with him and I said, ‘could I ever work out at your place?’ And he said, ‘yeah, no problem!'”

Krasinski added, “I met the producer for dinner the next night and he said, ‘you know no human being has ever been in that gym? Will you report back and tell me what it is?’ I walked in and it was like alien spaceships had landed. He had like 40 pieces of equipment that I’ve never seen in my life.”

The “A Quiet Place” actor went on to describe an interaction he had with one of Johnson’s leg machines, titled “The Pit Shark.” Krasinski said he had no idea how to use it and therefore began experimenting with the weight machine — head first, which obviously wasn’t right …

“As time went on, I got more and more comfortable in the gym,” he said. “We were just workout buddies.”

Krasinski’s wife, Blunt, just wrapped production on “Jungle Cruise” costarring Johnson. She will next star in Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns.”

Every Jack Ryan Actor Ranked, From Alec Baldwin to John Krasinski

The first season of Amazon's "Jack Ryan" is finally here, with John Krasinski being the fifth actor to take on the role. So it feels like a good time to look back at every incarnation of Jack Ryan and figure out who did it best.
5. Chris Pine

There's a reason why nobody remembers "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" even though it only came out, like, four years ago... because it's a really slight and unremarkable experience aside from Kenneth Branagh's delightful Russian baddie. Pine is just kinda there.
Paramount
4. John Krasinski

Jack Ryan is kind of a blank slate, generic white guy of a character, and so whether I like an actor in the role often largely depends on how good the film is that he's in. Unfortunately for Krasinski, Amazon's "Jack Ryan" is not good, and it drags him down with it. He's fine, whatever.
Amazon
3. Harrison Ford

It's not hard to imagine Ford's Jack Ryan as Indiana Jones after retiring and going straight, because that's kinda the mode Ford is in in "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger." It is a pleasure to watch even though it's not overly interesting.
Paramount
2. Ben Affleck

The Ben Affleck of "The Sum of All Fears" was before he solidified himself as a Serious Actor, and his turn as the "boy scout" Jack Ryan is pretty unique in his filmography. It's fun to watch him as an un-cynical good dude.
Paramount
1. Alec Baldwin

Baldwin is an actor who definitely has a type of role he usually does, and so it's easy to forget that he didn't always play characters who are jerks. The standard Baldwin character would be like Jack Ryan's boss trying to keep him from taking the initiative to do the right thing, so having him as Jack Ryan himself in "The Hunt for Red October" is really fascinating. And also Baldwin just kills it.
