Star power brings great responsibility to celebrities towards their fans. It is safe to say, Dwayne Johnson has embraced this responsibility very well over the years. His positive and respectful attitude has made ‘The Brahma Bull’ the most loved celebrity in the world. DJ never neglects to face the camera to address his fans and once he gave the reason for the same.
In 2018, The Rock appeared for an interview with actor Jamie Foxx on OFF SCRIPT, which is a Grey Goose Production. Foxx asked him why he still faces the camera to address fans while other stars ignore the same.

The Rock said, “It’s the most important relationship that I have, is with the people. Because I reached a point in my career where I was tired of trying to be something I wasn’t. So I was told at that time, ‘Listen you can’t talk about wrestling, you can’t go by (name) The Rock, you can’t be as big. Yeah, there are a lot of things like that.”
The WWE legend added, “So finally I reached a point where I said, all right two things had to happen. I’m going to surround myself with a different group of people, and different management. Then I’m gonna make sure that I just gotta be me. If you wanna call me Rock just call me Rock”
Johnson has shared several times about the stereotypes he faced in Hollywood in his initial days. However, he was always grateful to the fans who were with him since he was in WWE.
Foxx stated that he was once confused about what to call him, Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock. The Great One said, “It’s always The Rock.”
