Joe Rogan is widely known for having frank and controversial views on various topics in his famous The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Recently, the former UFC commentator raised a buzz on the Internet after openly calling out Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for steroid use. The 55-year-old podcast host demanded the Black Adam actor to publicly confess and apologize for his steroid consumption.
This came out soon after popular TikTok influencer and bodybuilder Brian Johnson popularly known as The Liver King admitted his steroid consumption after getting exposed. Rogan stated that The Rock should also respond to the video by The Liver King and disclose his shady side to all his followers who admire him for his fitness.
What did Joe Rogan say about Dwayne Johnson?
Recently when Joe Rogan was joined by another fitness freak named Derek in his podcast and they were discussing the recent Brian Johnson scenario, the host took no time to also add another Johnson into the story.
Firstly, the Zookeeper actor wasn’t surprised to know the truth about The Liver King as he stated that he already expected it. But the show got more interesting when he also added that The Rock should now also spill the secrets behind that godly physique of his.
“There’s no way you can look like that, in your 40s. The Rock should come clean right now. He should make a video in response to the Liver King video. I need to talk to you because the Rock’s been lying. There’s not a f–king chance in hell he’s clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as the Rock is, at 50? He’s so massive, and he’s so different than he was when he was 30.”
Then Joe Rogan further added that the San Andreas fame has a responsibility to his fans who follow him heartily and thus he must be truthful to them. He thinks it’s worse to not be truthful to the fans than to consume steroids:
“There’s a responsibility you have to people who are listening to you. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s one thing. But if you do talk about it, there’s a responsibility you have to people listening to you and I think you have to be honest about it, which is why I’m honest about it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking hormone replacement.”
Interestingly, it is not the first time the Fear Factor host called out the former WWE wrestler. In one of his videos published a few years back when he was talking to heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, he targeted several WWE wrestlers for steroid use. He specifically mentioned The Rock in his statement and said that the wrestlers don’t get adequate time as a result of which they rely on steroids for their physique.
Did Dwayne Johnson comment anything on the matter?
Soon after Joe Rogan finished his words, Derek clarified that Dwayne Johnson did reveal that he tried steroids once when he was 18 or 19. But according to Johnson, he has never touched steroids again following that first time.
On the other hand, Rogan’s sudden attack on the Jungle Cruise actor shocked the fans more as the 50-year-old actor openly supported Rogan when he was widely criticized for spreading COVID misinformation. In an apology video that was released by the podcast host soon after the controversy, The Rock commented on his support which attracted a lot of online hate.
Dwayne Johnson is yet to respond to the allegations of steroid usage put on him.
