UK tabloid the Daily Star has taken a story about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson down from their website after the actor claimed the alleged interview was "100% fabricated." The story, which appeared on the cover of the print publication, drew widespread controversy due to what appeared to be the actor's criticism of "Generation Snowflake."

In the alleged interview, Johnson expressed his support for tolerance of everyone’s beliefs but is quoted as saying, “Generation Snowflake or, whatever you want to call them, are actually putting us backwards.” After publications like TMZ picked up the story, some people on Twitter agreed with the “snowflake” quote. Still, many others said they were disappointed with the actor for his dismissive comments.

It’s not just the Rock, it’s every single rational human being. We all feel this way, but thanks to social media, crazy people have normalized and monetized being a snowflake. Via Twitter: @arttavana

Johnson eventually responded to the story Friday, saying in a video on Instagram that the interview “never took place, never happened, I never said any of those words, completely untrue, 100% fabricated.”

“It’s not a real [Dwayne Johnson] interview if I’m ever insulting a group, a generation, or anyone because that’s not me. That’s not who I am, and that’s not what we do,” he added.
