The eight-time Mr. Olympia winner, Ronnie Coleman, claims that he can identify the use of steroids based on one’s physique. He rendered his opinion on several celebrities, and interestingly, one of them is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Johnson has been previously accused of using ‘super supplements’ by various fitness and bodybuilding experts. Coleman is convinced that the Rampage star must have taken something at some point to achieve such a physique at the age of 51.
Coleman’s verdict stems from his years of experience in building a championship-ready body. He remained an undefeated champion from 1998 to 2005, and his record for the highest number of wins in Mr. Olympia still stands today.
Ronnie Coleman Gives A ‘Not Natural’ Verdict To Dwayne Johnson’s Physique
Ronnie Coleman appeared on The Ranveer Show podcast hosted by Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia. While on the show, Coleman was asked to scrutinize the bodies of several celebrities to determine whether they had used performance-enhancing drugs. Coleman also provided explanations behind his deductions.
One of these celebrities was Dwayne Johnson. Coleman was convinced that Johnson had used some performance enhancers at some point in his career. He explained that while the Fast Five actor might not have used a lot of steroids, the cuts in his body could be a result of some steroid usage.
When the host inquired about what gave it away in Johnson’s physique, Coleman shared that the Jumanji actor’s very definition suggested the use of super supplements. His final verdict stated that it’s very unlikely that Johnson achieved his physique naturally. Coleman shared with The Ranveer Show:
“Yeah. Yeah. He probably took a little bit of something here and there, not a lot you know. He’s all kind of cut up a little bit. The definition is everywhere on his body. I could be wrong but you know… it’s very unlikely [that he’s natural].”
Coleman was also uncertain about the naturalness of Chris Hemsworth and John Cena’s bodies. However, he gave a ‘natural’ verdict for other celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Brock Lesnar, LeBron James, and Mike Tyson.
Dwayne Johnson Was Accused Of Using Steroids Earlier
Dwayne Johnson frequently shares motivational training videos on his Instagram page with 350 million followers. While Johnson attributes his insane physique to a disciplined routine and work ethic, not all health experts are in agreement with that idea. Last year, Joe Rogan slammed the Red Notice actor on his podcast, suggesting that Johnson should come clean about his steroid use.
Rogan discussed this with Derek of the More Plates More Dates podcast, who was also convinced that Johnson used performance-enhancing drugs. Derek had earlier addressed the issue on his podcast with Dan Bilzerian. Another American bodybuilder, Jay Cutler, also discussed the possibility that Johnson took steroids. He firmly believed that the Jungle Cruise actor had used testosterone replacement therapy to achieve his physique at this age.
Despite the accusations, Dwayne Johnson continues to inspire millions and remains one of the most popular celebrities on the planet.
