Dwayne Johnson is presently one of the biggest names in the industry. The 50-year-old actor made a name for himself by starring in some notable franchises. The Mummy franchise was the stepping stone for The Rock into the world of movies. After starring in The Mummy Returns along with Brendan Fraser, he got to play the lead in the 2002 spin-off The Scorpion King. While The Scorpion King is still remembered for The Rock’s major lead role, an interview with Howard Stern done before the movie also got infamous due to several reasons.
Before the release of the 2002 movie, Dwayne Johnson appeared in an interview alongside the popular radio personality to promote The Scorpion King. One of the most awkward moments of the interview came out when Howard Stern trolled the actor for marrying Dany Garcia.
What did Howard Stern say about Dwayne Johnson’s ex-wife?
The fans who often revisit the interview speak about how the whole interview made The Rock uncomfortable and awkward. Dwayne Johnson is even praised for his handling of the situation in a cool and humble way despite some questions being extremely offensive. At a point, the host even commented on how the former WWE Wrestler has made a very bad move by marrying.
Throughout the whole show, Howard Stern along with his co-host Robin Quivers was spotted repeatedly pushing the Rampage star into awkward situations. Robin Quivers even commented on how the Seven Bucks Production owner was the worst guest to her. The interview turned a bit weirder when Stern asked The Rock about his marriage. Johnson responded by stating he got married 5 years ago. Hearing this, the host stated how it was a very bad move.
“Jesus Christ what were you thinking. Bad Move.”
The comments didn’t stop immediately as the hosts continued making fun by bringing up the name of Vince McMahon who also had a very big impact on Dwayne Johnson’s wrestling career. Even though Dany Garcia and The Rock got separated in 2008, they continued to remain good business partners.
Dwayne Johnson’s relationship with Dany Garcia
Dwayne Johnson’s relationship with Dany Garcia didn’t run long as the two got separated in 2008 after being married in 1997. But the separation was quite a mutual one and didn’t take any messy turn. The ex-couple continued to remain business partners and even co-founded the Seven Bucks Production.
Dany Garcia was even the manager of Johnson since 2008 which would have come as a shock to Howard Stern as he joked that it would be a mistake to make one’s wife a business manager. Presently, she is the global strategic advisor to the Jumanji fame.
Now Dwayne Johnson is married to Lauren Hashian whereas Garcia is married to bodybuilder Dave Rienzi.
