Michael Bay clarifies statement about The Rock

Michael Bay has clarified his statement on his website saying that whatever he had said earlier regarding The Rock was just a joke.

Director Michael Bay had earlier suggested that the rock should quit wrestling.

“He was pushing it too hard,” Bay had told E! News. “[He] needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300-pound men.

Bay clarified his statement on his website, writing, “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.”

The Rock was also quick to clarify things as he tweeted:

Funny sh*t! Michael Bay joked I should stop wrestling 300lb men. I agree – I’ll switch to women. #ALLPainNOGain twitter.com/TheRock/status…
