While the mainstream public might know him as The Rock, Dwayne Johnson has also been more than just a wrestler. After reaching the peak of the wrestling world, Johnson moved on to bigger things. The first of these things was Hollywood, where he once again reached a peak when it was announced that he was the highest-paid actor in 2019. Other things include production and entrepreneurship, where he created his own brand.

But it seems like Johnson isn’t staying in the Hollywood lane again. In many interviews, he has shown his interest in other sports as well. But if he intends to show his love for football, it should be better for him to revise the teams and leagues because of a recent interview.

In this interview, Johnson was asked what football team does he support? And he immediately answered, “You know the one, the pride of Cheshire.” This caught the ire of many fans online as he referred to Liverpool.

Liverpool has always gotten the support of celebrities. Some of them include Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt, LeBron James, Lana Del Ray, Nelson Mandela, and Samuel L. Jackson. So it doesn’t make the brightest of minds to think that Johnson is supporting Liverpool.

Before this interview, fans all knew that Johnson was supporting the Chesire team, Macclesfield FC. People widely know this team as ‘Pride of Cheshire’. That is why they thought Johnson meant Macclesfield FC. But people didn’t take this in the best way.

People have ridiculed Johnson enough after the interview.
