“Pain & Gain” Director Michael Bay has clarified his remarks about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson needing to “grow up and stop wrestling 300 pound men.” (Video above)
Bay wrote on his official website:
“Wrestling fans, it was a joke said on Entertainment Tonight–with a laugh. You can see the clip for yourselves. The most important person to see the on-air joke was Dwayne. I love seeing The Rock wrestle. I hope he wrestles 10 more years. I joked on air because Dwayne was not at our LA premiere due to his injury.”
As noted earlier, The Rock responded to the controversy earlier today:
Funny sh*t! Michael Bay joked I should stop wrestling 300lb men. I agree – I'll switch to women. #ALLPainNOGain pic.twitter.com/V1PlBYqB8c
