Joe Rogan suggested on his podcast that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is using steroids and should ‘come clean’ about how he achieved his ‘preposterous physique’.
Rogan made the comment on Saturday after the internet sensation Liver King was outed as a steroid-user and forced to apologize for lying to his fans that his body was natural.
To justify the allegation, Rogan suggested that The Rock, who is now 50, was smaller when he was 30 and that the change couldn’t have been achieved without steroids.
Brian Johnson – better known as Liver King – admitted in a six-minute video on Friday that he has done steroids in the past and is continuing to receive 0.6ml of testosterone every week.
Johnson was exposed when emails leaked in which he was trying to order steroids despite advocating to his millions of fans a diet of beef brains, bull testicles and raw animal livers.

‘The rock should come clean right now,’ said Rogan.
‘There’s not a f*****g chance in hell he’s clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as The Rock is? At 50? He’s so massive and he’s so different than he was when he was 30.’ he said.
Rogan went on to explain that although he doesn’t disagree with the use of steroids altogether its important to be honest.
‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hormone replacement,’ said Rogan. ‘There’s a responsibility you have to people that are listening to you.’
He also acknowledged that he started using testosterone cream when he was in his 30s.
In the episode Rogan’s guest, Derek, fitness educator behind ‘More Plates, More Dates’, tells him that The Rock has not ‘point blank’ denied that he uses steroids but ‘has implied it pretty heavily’.

During his podcast, released on Saturday, Rogan said that many Hollywood actors use steroids
Johnson made a name for himself as wrestler fighting in WWE, formerly WWF, which is where he earned the name The Rock.
Since then he has appeared in numerous films and become famous for his muscular appearance which has likely earned him roles in huge Hollywood films.
Speaking of the transformation The Rock had to undergo for his appearance in recent superhero film Black Adam, he wrote: ‘The physical transformation to become Black Adam was one of the most grueling, intense & demanding commitments of my entire career – including football and wrestling.’

Rogan addressed the extent to which steroids have been normalized among movie stars but suggested nobody mentions that reality.
‘Mainstream television is so woefully p**s poor at interviewing these people and pressing them, and they let them off the hook every time,’ he said.
‘Every single time, whether its Thor, whether its Hemsworth or any of these people who got super f******g jacked for a movie. Like Wolverine? Cut the f******g shit,’ Rogan added.
DailyMail.com reached out to The Rock for comment but did not immediately hear back.
