WWE legend sounds alarm over ‘The Rock’ Dwayne Johnson’s health: ‘Scares me’

Dwayne Johnson has been making the media rounds of late as he prepares for the release of his upcoming film, “The Smashing Machine,” about ex-UFC fighter Mark Kerr.

But his appearance — “The Rock” was a hulking, muscle -bound wrestler not that long ago but has recently lost a lot of weight — has had fans talking. And it has at least one wrestling legend worried.

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash laid out his thoughts on it all during a recent edition of his “Kliq THIS” podcast.

“I’m worried about him,” Nash said of Johnson.

His co-host, Sean Oliver, then noted that Johnson has said he made the drastic cuts in preparation for acting parts.

“And the result, if you Google it, that he sat down with his cardiologist and he’s suffering from heart disease,” Nash responded.

“He’s doing the exact same thing Dave (Bautista) did,” Nash said later in the conversation. “Dave just doesn’t want to carry that bulk anymore. You get to a (expletive) age and you are just like (expletive) this. And especially if your cardiologist tells you, ‘Dude, you’re taking years off your life.’ If you have $800 million (expletive) dollars, the last thing you want to do is (expletive) with your health.”

“Is there anything … I want to be careful, athletics, that is contributing to this?” Oliver asked. “Is it size? Is it working out?

Nash said he believed it was Johnson’s genetics and that “his ancestry had heart issues.”

“He was big but in very good shape,” Oliver said.

“But that is not obtainable to carry that much size in that condition,” Nash responded. “You’re not on TRT. I’m on TRT. I get a cc of testosterone a week. I’m not going …. I could not be 330 pounds on a cc of testosterone.

“I think Dwayne was probably, as ‘The Final Boss’ probably 285, 280,” he added. “He’s probably 220 right now, which at 6-3, 220 he’s still a big guy. That’s not a small guy. I just … look at his face, and the face looks really, like it’s taken a beating.”

Oliver put up a photo on the screen.

“Look at the sunkeness of the eyes, you have to put a side-by-side picture of him as ‘The Final Boss’ and put them there and tell me that … that scares me, and I hope Dwayne is OK,” Nash said. “Look at that face. What that one movie aged him five years, and he wants to do another one?

“The lines in his face are deeper, his eyes are set deeper, yet his face appears thinner there than in the other photograph.”

Oliver then asked how long it would take and what regimen “The Rock”, who is 53, could use to lose 60 pounds while still working out and staying fit “after having been that big a year ago, eight months ago?”

“Drop the (expletive) anabolic doses,” Nash said.

“Number one, I know that he is an absolute muscle head,” he added. “I mean he loves to work out. He lives to work out. So, you’re not going to drop 60 pounds in, this … he showed up in Venice and it was like, bam! Nobody has seen him before that? Like, where has he been? Was he that third (expletive) astronaut up there they couldn’t get back? I mean, where the (expletive) has Dwayne been to lose that much weight that quickly.”

Oliver then pulled up another pair of recent photos, one showing Johnson muscled up and another showing him slimmed down.

“That’s a (expletive) different human being,” Nash said.

The two then continued to look at photos of Johnson before Oliver said that it was “an accomplishment for him to stay fit,” while losing the weight.

“We don’t know that he stayed fit because he’s in a suit,” Nash replied.

Oliver pointed out that Nash said that Johnson was a “gym rat.”

“So, I don’t think that he would drop the weight without trying to stay toned,” Oliver said.

“What if you’re in AFib?” Nash replied. “You can’t work out.

“And you’ve got cardiac problems.”
