Despite his boosted physique, Dwayne Johnson once confessed to having “constant” body insecurities: “How am I?” – Mainly Sports

World’s Sexiest Man Alive 2016, Dwayne Johnson isn’t one of those people who doesn’t have body issues from time to time. Every celebrity, male or female, young or veteran, has mentioned the body issues they face in Hollywood once or twice.

But you wouldn’t think someone like Johnson, who has a history with professional wrestling and keeps his body in tip-top shape with every exposure, would also have body insecurities.

The man has been working on perfecting his body since he was a teenager. A photo of Johnson from his teenage years will easily shame many men into thinking of their own teenage years.

So coming from such a background, what made Johnson think about his body? Well, in an interview, when an interviewer asked him, we got to hear it straight from The Rock.

Dwayne Johnson once opened up about his body insecurities

In the interview, Johnson was asked about his insecurities regarding his body. He has answered, “Yeah. I think we all do. I also think that I grew up in a world where we show bodies. So I grew up in professional wrestling. My dad was a wrestler and my grandfather was a wrestler, so I used to see myself showing off their bodies. But I think that often it happens to all of us. Me and my buddies and when we were wrestling and showing off our bodies we were constantly, how do I look, am I bloated? So it’s constant. I still have these insecurities.”

DIVE DEEPER

Although he mentioned his professional wrestling career as the first time he developed body insecurities, Hollywood isn’t shy about it either. Especially in the action movie industry, the main protagonist is always the handsome guy.

Everything should be perfect about him, and his muscles should pop out of his normal t-shirt as things explode behind his back. This has been the default image of a major action star.

Everyone from Sylvester Stallone to Arnold Schwarzenegger followed this image. Even modern stars like Tom Holland, Tom Cruise, Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson are going through the same thing.

Only viewers can change Hollywood star image and help our favorite stars lead a happy life.
