I'm sure that most ARMYs here don't know the famous name Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Possessing hundreds of millions of admirers worldwide, the most famous reputation in the world and being among the most influential celebrities, this actor and professional wrestler himself once admitted that he is a big fan of BTS.
This was truly a big surprise for ARMYs and it was an honor to welcome another celebrity into our ranks. In particular, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson himself once commented that BTS was "more famous" than him and gave a reason why ARMYs couldn't smile brighter.
It turns out that as a fan, even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did not hesitate to show his love for BTS. Check out what he had to say about BTS below:
For many people who love the Marvel cinematic universe or are loyal fans of the Fast and Furious movie series, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is truly an icon. Rising to prominence with a series of action and superhero films, this actor and professional wrestler is known as the first actor to have the highest-paid first lead role (more than $5.5 million USD).
Not only that, for many years in a row, The Rock has also been on the list of Forbes' most powerful celebrities and the top most influential celebrities voted by Time. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that he is a celebrity who "stands above" ten thousand other celebrities.
But during the promotion of the movie Black Adam in 2019, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson revealed that he himself is a loyal fan of Kpop superstars - BTS. This revelation by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has excited fans around the world and it proves how great the influence of BTS members is.
Not only that, when The Rock participated in an interview with Culture N Star during that time, he also did not hesitate to shout out his love for BTS in public. Specifically, when the actor participated in a game in which he had to choose whether his character Black Adam or an iconic kσrєαn character would win, he gave bold answers.
First, when having to choose between himself or veteran kσrєαn actor Ma Dong Seok (aka Don Lee), he confidently replied that his character Black Adam has the upper hand. Next, it is similar to the choice between his character and kσrєαn professional soccer player Son Heung Min
However, when asked to choose between Black Adam and BTS - famous Kpop superstars, the actor had to bow to BTS!
He frankly replied that BTS is more famous than his character. And the reason given is: "Thirty million albums sold which is absolutely incredible. And they have an ARMY! That’s how bada̾s̾s they are. They have got a shot to beat Black Adam."
BTS are the only people chosen by The Rock in this game and are also the only people believed to be capable of winning against Black Adam. Not only humbled by BTS's popularity, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson also praised what ARMYs have contributed to BTS and that really makes ARMYs love it but also feel shy.
ARMYs were ̾s̾h̾o̾c̾ked that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was part of the fandom. He even knows exactly what BTS has achieved and praises ARMY's great strength:
- Holy sнιтtttt ...we BADASSSSS PPL..?

John Cena is one of the biggest members of the BTS ARMY (literally), and he always manages to include BTS in his work, from the film Playing with Fire to HBO Max and DCCU show Peacemaker.
