THE ROCK CAUSES A STORM AGAIN: His “2 healthy kids” answer to the question “Do you want a gay son or a naughty daughter” in a new interview with Ziwe has sparked a stir — and his tumultuous past is suddenly brought back up

Social media is on fire after a new interview between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and the famous MC Ziwe, who is known for her controversial questions that dig into the most sensitive areas of stars. And this time, the question she asked The Rock made the internet freeze: “Do you want a gay son or a naughty daughter?”

True to his manly style, straightforward but cautious, The Rock replied:

“I just want two healthy kids. To me, that’s the most important thing.”

A seemingly safe, neutral, kind answer — but it caused social media to explode in an unexpected way.

The reason? Because just minutes after the interview was shared, a series of users brought up The Rock’s controversial past in 2019. At that time, the actor refused to attend the Oscars after a series of his old tweets — called “homophobic” — were dug up from a decade ago.

At that time, The Rock had to publicly apologize:

“I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive comments in the past.”

And because of this scar, the answer “it doesn’t matter, as long as the baby is healthy” in this interview was immediately put under a skeptical lens. Some people thought The Rock was trying to avoid, careful with every word to avoid getting caught up in another media crisis. Meanwhile, others were upset, saying that his answer was “too political”, “too clean”, and “did not dare to express his true views”.

What attracted more attention was the opposite reaction from the online community.

One side said that his answer was completely reasonable, putting the health and happiness of his children first instead of labeling or judging.

The other side said that The Rock was acting, trying to walk a delicate line in modern society, especially after the 2019 scandal.

Some comments even sarcastically said:

“He is so scared that he doesn’t dare say anything that could be misinterpreted. This is not the old The Rock at all.”

Under this pressure, the interview, which was only meant to be entertaining, suddenly turned into a topic of deep debate about gender, prejudice, celebrity responsibility and the line between sincerity and image calculation.

Currently, The Rock has not given any further response. But given the virality of the clip and the way the Internet is digging up the past, it is clear that this story is far from over.
