You would have to be living on some type of remote island if you have never heard of Dwayne Johnson before. He is commonly known as ‘The Rock’ and it doesn’t matter if you know him as a professional wrestler, a movie star or a motivational speaker, he seems to have the ability to move an audience in the right direction. Perhaps you have read his words on an interview and have been thrilled to know the opinion of this man. Then again, you need to know what you are reading is the truth.
Johnson reportedly recently sat down for an interview with The Daily Star, a UK tabloid. According to the interview they printed, The Rock talked about the fragility of the ‘snowflake generation’ and spoke out strongly against it. He recently took to Instagram and posted a video, however, that is shocking many who read that interview. According to him, “The interview never happened. “Never said those words. 100% false.”

Johnson was chuckling as he spoke about waking up in the morning and finding out that the ‘interview’ had been posted.
“The interview never took place. Never happened. Never said any of those words. Completely untrue. 100 percent fabricated,” he said with a laugh. “I was quite baffled when I woke up this morning.”
Interestingly, the interview has been removed from the website of the UK tabloid. If you are interested in knowing what the original story had to say, however, you can read it below.
“So many good people fought for freedom and equality, but this generation are looking for a reason to be offended,” the 46-year-old told The Daily Star. “If you are not agreeing with them then they are offended, and that is not what so many great men and women fought for.”
“We thankfully now live in a world that has progressed over the last 30 or 40 years,” The Rock said. “People can be who they want, be with who they want, and live how they want. That can only be a good thing, but generation snowflake, or whatever you want to call them, are actually putting us backwards.”
“I don’t have to agree with what somebody thinks, who they vote for, what they voted for, what they think, but I will back their right to say or believe it,” The Rock said. “That’s democracy.”
