'The Rock' body-slams 'fabricated' tabloid interview decrying 'snowflake' culture
(FOX NEWS) - Wrestler turned international movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson body-slammed a British tabloid on Friday for posting what he called a "fabricated" interview featuring him bashing "snowflakes."
Johnson took to Instagram Friday evening to "set the record straight" over a story published earlier in the day by The Daily Star. In the interview, he was quoted as lamenting the rise of snowflake culture and criticizing millennials' need to search for reasons to be offended.
"Earlier today, online, an interview dropped with me, apparently it was with me, where I was insulting and criticizing millennials," Johnson said in a video posted to his social media page. "The interview never took place. Never happened. Never said any of those words. Completely untrue. 100 percent fabricated."
Media outlets, including Fox News, had picked up the story, in which the actor was said to have derided millennials for doing a disservice to war heroes by constantly complaining.
