Is The Rock Natural? Ronnie Coleman Says, “He Probably Took a Little Bit of Something”

Ronnie Coleman weighs in on whether he thinks The Rock and other celebrities are natty or not.

Eight-time Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman recently spoke on whether or not he believes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and several other actors and athletes are natural or not. According to the eye test, Coleman is doubtful that The Rock is one hundred percent natural.

In a recent YouTube interview, Ronnie Coleman was faced with some tough questions to answer. Not because of the potential moral quandary he faced, but because he had to speculate on whether or not he believed several actors and athletes were natural or on performance-enhancing drugs. With decades of bodybuilding and lifting experience under his belt, Coleman gave his educated opinions on whether several high-profile actors and athletes were using PEDs.

Perhaps the actor with the highest profile on the list was The Rock whose fame and accolades have reached a whole new height. Getting his start in professional wrestling, The Rock has always been a physical force. But since walking away as a full-time pro wrestler, something had changed about the “People’s Champion”. The Rock has seen his physique go from good to great. He is more shredded and massive than he was during his WWE tenure. He’s in such great shape that many have wondered how he would fare in a bodybuilding competition.

Natty or Not

When faced with the question of whether he believed The Rock made his incredible gains using natural methods, Ronnie Coleman sounded as if he wasn’t totally convinced.

“Oh yeah [I can tell if someone is enhanced or not] for sure,” said Ronnie Coleman. 

With that declaration, Ronnie Coleman began to give his honest thoughts on whether he believed The Rock was Natty or Not.

“Yeah. Yeah. He probably took a little bit of something here and there, not a lot you know,” said Coleman. “He’s all kind of cut up a little bit.

“The definition is everywhere on his body. I could be wrong but you know… it’s very unlikely [that he’s natural].”
