Does Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson use steroids to maintain his famed physique? Is it anyone's business?
Well, Joe Rogan—podcast host and notorious inflammatory cultural commentator—sure thinks it is. In a conversation with a YouTuber behind the show "More Plates More Dates," Rogan wanted to know "Does the Rock say he’s clean?"
Derek, the YouTuber, replied and said "he has implied it pretty heavily, but he also doesn’t end up in scenarios where he gets asked point blank."
You can see the exchange here:
This vague answer annoyed Rogan, who blew up in a typical Rogan-fashion.
"The Rock should come clean right now…. There’s not a f***ing chance in hell he’s clean."
"Not a chance in hell. As big as the Rock is at 50?"
Rogan, it should be noted, is 55 himself and has owned up to using various substances to maintain his body in the past.
He went on to try to make a point about why he cares so much.
“There’s a responsibility that you have to people that are listening to you."
"And if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s one thing. But if you do talk about it, there’s a responsibility that you have to people that are listening to you."
"And I think you have to be honest. Which is why I’m honest about it."
As is usual with Joe Rogan's statements, people's responses were all over the map.
First were those who thought Rogan was just stating the obvious about The Rock's alleged steroid use.
In the further conversations about "does he or doesn't he," people tried to clarify Rogan's point for him.
However, Rogan's history on this subject and other pieces of medical advice he dispenses made him hard to listen to on this, some people thought.
Some people came to The Rock's defense.
Some added even if The Rock were to take steroids, he'd still have to work very hard to gain and keep the physique he has.
Just taking steroids doesn't give you an 8-pack.
As Rogan is notably inflammatory and The Rock is relatively beloved, this probably won't be the last we hear about this subject.
