Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has spoken out about Robert De Niro’s public support for his transgender daughter Airyn De Niro: “I think it’s something…”
In a shocking development in Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has officially broken his silence after Robert De Niro shared his absolute support for his transgender daughter Airyn De Niro. The Rock’s statement immediately sparked controversy as the actor acted more strongly than anyone could have imagined. Fans immediately searched for answers: what exactly does The Rock “not like” – and why did his words create such a stir?

It all started when Robert De Niro appeared at a small panel discussion, where he emotionally mentioned Airyn – the child he is always proud of and protects at all costs. De Niro said that he “supports her 100%, all the time, everywhere”, and that “this is the right thing a father can do.” These words quickly became a hot topic, because the entertainment industry is always sensitive to any statements related to the LGBTQ+ community.
However, what shocked the public more was The Rock’s reaction. In a short interview, when asked about De Niro’s statement, the muscular actor did not avoid it but answered directly: “I think it’s something… difficult for many people to accept, but it’s not a reason to judge or divide.” This half-hearted statement immediately sparked an explosion of debate as everyone tried to guess whether The Rock was supporting or opposing De Niro..jpg)
A behind-the-scenes source said that The Rock was “uncomfortable” not because Airyn was transgender, but because of the way De Niro publicly revealed his family story at a sensitive time, causing the media and audience to rush into a toxic debate. The Rock is said to want Hollywood to stop making personal issues divisive, and he felt that De Niro bringing Airyn’s story to the public could inadvertently put more pressure on her.
However, there are also opinions that The Rock still has a conservative mentality on some topics, making him “uncomfortable” with statements that are considered too progressive. On social networks, thousands of comments erupted, clearly divided: some supported De Niro for his bravery and fatherly love, others sided with The Rock on the grounds that “there are family matters that should be kept private”.
The drama became more tense when De Niro was said to be “
very upset” by The Rock’s half-hearted statement, claiming that it put Airyn under more pressure. A close friend of De Niro’s family said he felt “disrespected”, especially by a colleague who had worked together and repeatedly praised each other in public.
The story is still unfinished. The Rock remained silent after the controversial statement, while De Niro’s side tried to protect his daughter from any negative influence. The public continues to question: is this just a misunderstanding… or is it a sign of a deeper “clash of opinions” between two Hollywood icons?
