The Rock Says He Was ‘Close’ to Buying Mr. Olympia, Names His ‘Favorite’ Physique in Bodybuilding Fitness Volt [Video]

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Patrick Bet-David met for a special YouTube collaboration on September 18, 2024. During the video, The Rock discusses almost buying the Mr. Olympia and reveals his favorite physique of all time in bodybuilding.

The sale of the Mr. Olympia brand has left many in the fitness community, including The Rock, extremely interested. According to Patrick Bet-David, a prominent entrepreneur and content creator, The Rock acquiring the Mr. Olympia would save its brand and elevate the sport of bodybuilding to unforeseen heights.

Ultimately, the Mr. Olympia organization decided not to sell to The Rock. Instead, they offered the company to the current owner Jake Wood, and President Dan Solomon, who graciously accepted the honor. However, many in the fitness community believe that not selling to The Rock was a mistake.
