Aging is an inevitable process that even The Rock cannot escape. All he can do is try and maintain a fit form for as long as he can. So far, Dwayne Johnson has done a pretty good job at it. His buff chest, buffer biceps, and toned abs at 51 are an inspiration for many. Usually, his fans are very appreciative of his massive structure. However, after a recent Instagram update, a specific part of his body has been subjected to criticism and mockery.

Not long ago, Dwayne Johnson shared a workout video on his social media handle. Noticing something peculiar in the video, fans took to the comments to share their thoughts. While many complimented his jacked physique, some criticized how his legs aren’t as well built as the rest of his body.

Hinting at the contrast between his legs and chest, a fan wrote, “Leg day does not mean chest bro.” However, while some were busy bashing the star, others were astonished to see the reactions. Defending the Rock, one such fan commented, “Never seen so many men obsessed with another mans legs 😂😂. Injuries and age are gonna take size off leg over the course of time. Plus he’s not trying to be a bodybuilder he doesn’t need massive legs.”
