Dwayne Johnson was a professional wrestler best known by his ring name, The Rock, but he later pursued a career as an actor. The former wrestler then made a place in the hearts of audiences as he portrayed various iconic characters in films and television. In fact, his net worth has skyrocketed as his films have grossed billions at the box office.
However, Johnson has an older relationship with controversy. Did you know he came under fire for a 2019 Instagram post, due to which he lost followers?
Dwayne Johnson was criticized by the public once he shared an Instagram post stating that an army tank had been named after him. His post was so controversial that it grabbed the attention of so many, and a bunch of his followers unfollowed him on social media. It happened after the American Tank Division revealed a new tank.
Johnson, who was inspired by the honor, shared a controversial post on his Instagram handle that read, “I’m sending a salute of respect and gratitude to the Blackhawk Squadron’s 1st Armoured Division for the honor of naming their tank (the most advanced in the world) Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Heavy duty, badass, sexy AF, and built to take care of business.” He thanked them by ending the caption.
The post got mixed reactions; while a few praised him, others criticised him and decided not to support him, leading to the loss of a few followers on Instagram.
