DWAYNE "The Rock" Johnson has denied laying the smackdown on Britain's snowflakes in a recent interview, insisting he did NOT say they are always "looking to be offended."

The WWE legend, who has gone on to become the world's highest paid actor, posted a video to Instagram addressing the "false" report, claiming it left him "baffled".

Alongside the clip, he wrote: "Settin’ the record straight. The interview never happened. Never said those words.

100% false.

"If I ever had an issue with someone, a group, community or a generation — I’d seek them out, create dialogue and do my best to understand them.

"Criticizing ain’t my style. I don’t cast stones and we all get to be who we are."

The Daily Star reported how Johnson - who Forbes reckon to be worth a staggering $165 million (£130m) - applauded the fact that nowadays anyone can "be who they want to be".

But it continued to say that the 19st man-mountain raged at the constant offence touchy snowflakes take.

The 46-year-old reportedly said: "I don’t have to agree with what somebody thinks, who they vote for, what they voted for, what they think, but I will back their right to say or believe it.

“That’s democracy. So many good people fought for freedom and equality – but this generation are looking for a reason to be offended.

“If you are not agreeing with them, then they are offended.”
