WWE ICON Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has professed his love for Liverpool – having previously declared he supported a different team.
The 50-year-old wrestler turned film star has claimed he is a follower of Jurgen Klopp’s side.
In the UK to promote his latest superhero film, Black Adam, Johnson was quizzed on his footballing allegiances.
And he told talkSPORT: “Do I support a team? Yes. The pride of Cheshire.”
In response, the interviewer said: “Liverpool?”
And Johnson replied: “Yes, Liverpool.”

But fans have been left baffled by Johnson’s response, with Liverpool in fact in Merseyside.
Macclesfield supporters were also left scratching their heads.
That’s because, back in 2013, Johnson proudly revealed he was a Macclesfield Town fan.
He wrote on Twitter: “Damn right! Macclesfield is my team. The pride of Cheshire!”

Macclesfield Town were wound-up in 2020 after going into liquidation, with phoenix club Macclesfield FC now competing in the Northern Premier League Division One West.
But supporting a team that plays in the eighth tier appears to be too much for Johnson.
Instead it looks as though he’s jumped ship to supporting the far more successful Liverpool, who won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season.
Klopp has also led the Reds to Champions League and Premier League glory in recent years.
