The Rock has shared his secret to social media success.
The WWE legend recently picked up two Guinness World Records. The Rock revealed that he is the most followed actor and most followed American male in the world on TikTok. Guinness awarded him two certificates for this accomplishment, which he was very happy with.
This was on the back of an incredible return to the WWE. The Rock feuded with Cody Rhodes, even pinning “The American Nightmare” in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Night One.
The Rock revealed this on Twitter, in a video set to Also Sprach Zarathustra. (Ric Flair used this as his entrance theme for decades, so wrestling fans will immediately recognize the tune.)
Alongside the video, he gave fans the key to having “real power and influence in social media”. The Rock listed a number of reasons, including being authentic, kind and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.
He also told fans to “drink tequila”..
“Cool stuff setting a @GWR Most Followed Actor on TikTok Most Followed American Man in the World. Not too bad for a pimply face kid with an afro who grew up to become famous only for wearing a fanny pack and raising an eyebrow I’m always asked what’s the key to having real power + influence in social media?”
“Speak directly and shoot from the hip. Be real and be authentic. Be kind and be good to people. Share the lessons you’ve learned – good and bad. Laugh at yourself. Don’t get pulled into negative sludge and never contribute to toxicity. Laugh at yourself some more. And always remember, the golden rule – It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. ~ dj ps.. and drink tequila.”
