WWE ICON Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has professed his love for Liverpool – having previously declared he supported a different team.

The 50-year-old wrestler turned film star has claimed he is a follower of Jurgen Klopp's side.


In the UK to promote his latest superhero film, Black Adam, Johnson was quizzed on his footballing allegiances.

And he told talkSPORT: "Do I support a team? Yes. The pride of Cheshire."

In response, the interviewer said: "Liverpool?"

And Johnson replied: "Yes, Liverpool."

That's because, back in 2013, Johnson proudly revealed he was a Macclesfield Town fan.

He wrote on Twitter: "Damn right! Macclesfield is my team. The pride of Cheshire!"
