‘The Rock’ becomes most-followed man

-

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, once the “Sexiest Man Alive,” is now the most followed man in America.

The pro wrestlertu­rned-box office superstar has surpassed 200 million followers on Instagram.

Making the official announceme­nt, the chiseled action star took to Instagram on Thursday, decked out in fine threads and accompanie­d by an ice-cold bottle of his recently launched Teremana Tequila.

“What a past few weeks this has been,” he said in the four-minute clip.

“I wanted to share with you guys the life lessons that I have learned these past couple of weeks and, if you guys see fit, you can take this life lesson that I’ve learned and you can apply it to your life, again, where you see fit and where you think it might find value,” he said.

Johnson thanked his followers for giving him the space to speak his truth in the caption.

“And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I’ve surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms,” he wrote.

According to the “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” star, that makes him the most-followed man in America, and the most followed American man in the world.

“And most importantl­y,” he wrote, “the #1 daddy at home.”

“Love you guys, I always got your back and let’s keep rockin’,” the Joe Biden/kamala Harris supporter concluded.

Pop star Ariana Grande is the planet’s most-followed woman on Instagram, with 203 million followers.
