One of the greatest names in the business right now is Dwayne Johnson. The 50-year-old actor became well-known by playing prominent franchise characters. The Rock’s entry into the film industry began with the Mummy franchise.
He was given the opportunity to play the lead in the 2002 spin-off The Scorpion King after acting in The Mummy Returns alongside Brendan Fraser.
The Rock played the main lead in The Scorpion King, which is still recognized for that, but an interview with Howard Stern conducted before the film became infamous for a number of reasons.
Dwayne Johnson as Mathayus
Before the release of the 2002 movie, Dwayne Johnson appeared in an interview alongside the popular radio personality to promote The Scorpion King. One of the most awkward moments of the interview came out when Howard Stern trolled the actor for marrying Dany Garcia.

Throughout the whole show, Howard Stern along with his co-host Robin Quivers was spotted repeatedly pushing the Rampage star into awkward situations. Robin Quivers even commented on how the Seven Bucks Production owner was the worst guest to her. The interview turned a bit weirder when Stern asked The Rock about his marriage. Johnson responded by stating he got married 5 years ago. Hearing this, the host stated how it was a very bad move.
“Jesus Christ what were you thinking. Bad Move.”
The comments didn’t stop immediately as the hosts continued making fun by bringing up the name of Vince McMahon who also had a very big impact on Dwayne Johnson’s wrestling career. Even though Dany Garcia and The Rock got separated in 2008, they continued to remain good business partners.

Dany Garcia was even the manager of Johnson since 2008 which would have come as a shock to Howard Stern as he joked that it would be a mistake to make one’s wife a business manager. Presently, she is the global strategic advisor to the Jumanji fame.
Now Dwayne Johnson is married to Lauren Hashian whereas Garcia is married to bodybuilder Dave Rienzi.
