In 2017, while promoting his film Baywatch, Dwayne Johnson sat for an interview with Kjersti Flaa. The host asked him about ever having body insecurities while talking about how the movie has everyone in their swimsuits.

Johnson said, “Yeah, of course. I think we all do. Well, I don’t know, but we all do, absolutely. I also think that I grew up in a world of showing bodies, I grew up in pro-wrestling. My dad was a pro-wrestler, (and) my grandfather. So I’m used to seeing men showing their bodies. But I think oftentimes happens to all of us.”

The WWE legend adds, “Me and my buddies when we were wrestling as showy as we were with our bodies, we constantly (said), ‘(Pointing at his belly area) Is it okay? Does it look alright? Does it look a little bloated?’ It’s constant, it’s always constant, we always have those insecurities.”

This was a surprising statement from the ‘The Great One’ at the time, as a year prior in 2016, he was the World’s Sexiest Man Alive. Therefore, nobody had thought with carrying that title, he would ever have any doubts about his physique.

 

Nevertheless, DJ is an individual who follows a disciplined workout and eating routine daily. He intensely workouts six days a week with cardio 2-3 times over the seven days. Also, his diet contains high protein and on Sundays, The Rock enjoys his cheat days by eating sweet food.
