Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made his name as a WWE wrestling superstar and continued on a path to massive success through an illustrious career. However, The Rock’s reputation seems to have hit a rocky road in recent times as he seems to be losing touch with his followers.
For the first time, Dwayne Johnson is losing followers across his social media pages. He is the most followed American person man and the sixth-most followed person on Instagram.
As per metrics from Social Blade, the actor/wrestler has lost over 450k followers on Instagram in the past month. He also witnessed a 50 percent decrease in likes on his TikTok page along with a sharp loss of followers on his YouTube page too.
The reason for his loss of fanfare can be attributed to various reasons. A series of controversial occasions have led to a steady loss of followers for the celebrity. His recent return to WWE and the appointment as a chairholder of their parent company TKO Group Holdings, has not been received well by many fans.
Dwayne Johnson has also been caught in several lies in his social media posts, disenfranchising many followers. People on social media are losing touch with him as he is more involved in promoting his products and people see him more as a marketing persona. This article explores some of the reasons why Dwayne Johnson is losing popularity among his loyal fanbase.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is losing his status as the ‘The People’s Champion’
Dwayne Johnson was a college football star who rose through the ranks of the WWE to be nicknamed ‘The People’s Champion’. His charismatic persona connected very well with fans across the board. After his initial exit from the WWE, The Rock went to pursue an illustrious career in acting and became one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.
It was no surprise that he is one of the most followed people across social media. However, as pointed out in a video by the YouTuber SunnyV2, the actor has been caught in a list of lies that has disenfranchised several of his followers.
Lying about his In N Out Visits
The Rock posted a video of his cheat meal in 2022, where he claimed to be trying a In N Out burger for the first time in his life. However, the actor was caught in a lie as evidenced by a post by him from 2017, where he made the same claim.
He did rectify his mistake in the post from 2023, where he edited the caption, saying:
“My first ever @innout burger experience — AGAIN ? (thanks to the fans who reminded me that I went to In and Out years ago and totally forgot about it ???♂️)”
