Ever since the ‘Liver King’ was exposed for using steroids, a lot of celebrities who underwent extraordinary physical transformations over the years have come under fire. And in this discussion, one of the initial picks was ‘The Rock’. Even the UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, accused Dwayne Johnson of using steroids; given how muscular he is at his age. And the controversy is still raging today. Meanwhile, a childhood picture of ‘The Rock’ with his father, Rocky Johnson, who appears massive in the picture, just resurfaced on the internet.

Fans react to a picture of The Rock with his jacked father
In the midst of all the talks on celebrities using steroids, a childhood picture of Dwayne Johnson has resurfaced online. The picture has brought in the actor’s blessed genetics in the debate; given how jacked his father, Rocky Johnson was in his heyday.
Do you really think I am going to take Joe Rogan seriously saying The Rock does steroids? As if he does not have his father's genetics at all. pic.twitter.com/ICpFGFH1aC

The popular belief today is that any celebrity who looks absurdly ripped must have used steroids at some point. However, this picture of ‘The Rock‘ with his hulking father makes some room for the genetic makeup the actor carries and made the fans offer their take on it.
Check out how the fans reacted to this picture of ‘The Rock’ with his hulking father:
Some fans were completely in disagreement on the take of it being a genetic makeup,

Some of the fans also came in with neutral thoughts on the matter:
1) he admitted to steroid use
2) homie works HARD asfNO ONE gets that level of jacked, especially around movies, without doing cycles. Look at him when he isn’t prepping for a movie, he’s “flatter”.

He probably has, but so what. Does he have a good gene pool, absolutely. He's also in show bizness, so whatever is needed for the job gets done

Yes definitely some genetics involved!

The debate doesn’t appear to see the end of the tunnel just yet. Furthermore, for ‘The Rock’ to look this ripped and muscular at 50 is unfathomable to many; including the 55-year-old Joe Rogan.

When Derek from More Plates More Dates, the man who exposed the ‘Liver King’ joined Joe Rogan on his podcast, the two went on to call out ‘The Rock’. Additionally, Rogan made a strong claim against the Hollywood star for using steroids, since, according to him, that is the only explanation for the way he looks at 50.
“There’s not a f*****g chance in hell he’s clean, not a chance in hell as big as The Rock is at fifty.” said Rogan. The UFC commentator in question suggests the actor to clear the air himself, and admit to using steroids.
