Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart's on-set shenanigans are fast becoming the best part of the their films.

They first started roasting each other while working on Central Intelligence, but now they're taking digs at each other in the jungle - on the set of Jumanji.

Johnson posted the above video to Instagram earlier this weekend, in which Hart puffs out his chest and mocks Johnson, makes fun of him for driving around set rather than walking.

Johnson is pretty proactive on social media and has shared lots of videos and pictures from the set already, most recently using Instagram to share a first look at Jonas' character in the upcoming film.

"Officially welcoming my guy @Nick Jonas to #Jumanji. Great dude, great positive energy and very talented. He's gonna kill this role like I kill things with my bare hands.

"The jungle awaits. The adventure continues. And ironically the one who sings the most on set is Jack Black. #OnLocation #Hawaii #WelcomeToTheFamilyNick #Jumanji," Johnson wrote.
