Dwayne Johnson gets honest about cancel culture

One of the most followed celebrities Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has strong views against cancel culture as he opened up about the growing phenomenon in a recent interview.

In a chat with Fox News, the Black Adam actor believed the threat of being targeted is leading people to shield their true selves.

“Today’s easy cancel culture world, and cancel culture, woke culture, this culture, that culture, division, etc, that really bugs me.”

He continued, “In the spirit of that, you either succumb and be what you think other people want you to be, or you go, ‘Well, no, that’s not who I am. I’m gonna be myself, and I’m gonna be real.”

”If you ask me something, a real answer is important, and the truthful answer’s important. And that may get people upset.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the wrestler-cum-actor said he would not endorse any candidate in the upcoming U.S. elections because his previous support did not bring the results he hoped.

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he shared.

He continued, “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that."

"But what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me. I didn’t realize that then, I just felt like there was a lot of unrest and I’d like things to calm down.”
