In The Rock's defense, being part Samoan, he does come from a lineage of VERY large men, so his natural base is probably a lot larger than the average person.

Combine that with his lifestyle giving him the ability to put in 5-7 hour gym sessions, using the most state of the art equipment, and keep track of ever morsel of food that goes in his body, there is a chance he is natural.

Read the interviews Kumail Nanjiani did to promote Eternals, and the stories he told about how grueling it was to get into the kind of shape he was in for that movie. Months of clean living, and 7 hours worth of gym sessions.

Or Rob McElhenney from Always Sunny when he posted what his "workout plan" when he got himself shredded for a role.

When your body is your brand, like it is for The Rock, you do whatever it takes to keep that brand at it's peak.

I'm not saying he's 100% natural, as I have no proof either way. But it can be done.

This is where you're wrong. Without steroids, it's literally impossible to workout that much as your body does not have the ability to recover and actually build muscle. What steroids do isn't build muscle, but accelerate the recovery, allowing users to continue to work their bodies at a rate a natural person can't.

No doubt actors put in the work to get jacked, but when they're giving interviews talking about working out for hours every day, what they're leaving out is that they had assistance in recovery. There's nothing wrong with that, again, but just be honest about it, because just by reading your post it's clear that people think it's possible to be The Rock's completely natural at his age.
