Rogan said, “Before social media when you had an action star, you just had the guy that just went to see the movie. And you saw like Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, they would do interviews, but it wasn’t this kind of thing.”

He added, “The Rock is and The Rock also The Rock on social media, and he makes very good use of social media because he just talks right to the f**king camera. You can tell, he knows what he wants to say, but he speaks it from the heart while talking to people. So he’s interacting to the people in a way.”

However, Schaub favored Will Smith and added, “Who’s done better than this? Which The Rock might be the best but on the other side is Will Smith. Will Smith was like Hold on! The movie is doing alright but Instagram is the new sh*t! Let me focus on this and it’s ridiculously good out there.”
