Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson and Logan Paul Friendship Timeline

The WWE legend and the younger Paul brother met each other in 2016. During a video collaboration on Paul’s channel, the duo met each other first and since then appeared in many videos together.

Why did the Rock’s friendship with Logan Paul end?

The end of their friendship goes back to the incident of Japan’s ‘Suicide Forest’ associated with Logan Paul which created a negative image of the fighter’s personality in Rock’s heart.

In 2017, Logan visited Aokigahara, a forest that has the highest suicide rate in the world. He along with his counterparts was filming their entire tour and their adventures. At one point during the exploration, the team came across a dead body of a suicidal incident. The YouTuber and his teammates made compassionless jokes about the body and later posted the video to his channel.

This heinous act of Logan created a lot of backlash from the public and resulted in many losses for the wrestler including million-dollar endorsement deals and losing thousands of subscribers. Dwayne Johnson was one of his fellow companions who opened up about the act and criticized Logan publicly.

And this is how their friendship turned sour.

What was the aftermath of breaking their relationships?

After the controversial move of Logan, Dwayne cut his ties with him completely. As per reports, the two fighters haven’t come close since the forest incident. When asked about his opinion regarding losing the mega star’s company Logan said, ‘And I was so sad that my hero wanted nothing to do with me. And I was sad because I understood it, I really f***ed up.”

Although Jake Pual’s little brother rebuilt his image through years of hard work and passion as a wrestler, his ties with the Rock couldn’t be healed. Share your thoughts in the comment section on the Hollywood actor’s action toward the wrestler and if he should rekindle with Logan.
