Michael Bay clarified his comment on The Rock, saying:
“Wrestling fans, it was a joke said on Entertainment Tonight–with a laugh. You can see the clip for yourselves. The most important person to see the on-air joke was Dwayne. I love seeing The Rock wrestle. I hope he wrestles 10 more years. I joked on air because Dwayne was not at our LA premiere due to his injury.”
For his part, The Rock took everything in stride, commenting:
“Michael Bay joked I should stop wrestling 300 pound men. I agree. I’ll switch to women.”
