The Rock Answers Steroid Rumors In New Interview And Finally Puts Issue To Rest

The Rock is big. Sick big. So the first question that pops up after every tweet from the gym or movie where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is bigger than the actual movie screen is “does The Rock juice?”

In an interview with Forbes magazine, Johnson comes cleaning on being clean.

Indeed, Johnson’s body is the stuff of CGI fantasy. At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, with biceps the size of your skull, he looks even bigger than when he wrestled. “Training is my anchor,” he says. “Being on a regimented schedule, setting a goal, failing at a goal. It’s the philosophies of being an athlete that carry me today.” He’s so shredded and veiny in photos from the gym that critics in online forums accuse him of using steroids. Johnson has said he hasn’t touched them since he was 18, when he tried them before college. “Sure, you get a lot of people out there who will suspect, and say shit,” he says. “They want to negate the hard work you put in.” Judging by his diet, it’s hard to think he cuts corners. He chugs protein shakes (he calls them “liquid crack”) and eats five or six meals a day, each protein, fat, and carbohydrate tallied.

The man says he’s clean and a man is only as good as his word.

So let’s just watch him barbell shrug 405lbs.
