Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who has been a 'hero' to YouTuber Logan Paul, is not speaking with him after the 2017 'Suicide Forest' incident.
Now, in a recent interview on True Geordi podcast, the YouTuber opened up about the same and called it "the saddest moment of his life" when the WWE legend asked him to delete all his photos and videos together.
Paul received an overwhelming response in 2017 for posting a video from Aokigahara, Japan.
Referred to by some as the "Japanese Suicide Forest", Paul and his crew filmed in the woods at the base of Mount Fuji, and ended up finding the body of a dead man. The video received massive response as netizens called Paul for the insensitive video.
Revealing what happened after the brawl, Paul said, "After Japan, I clearly found myself in a hole, well, that I had never been before. Mentally very low, and I found myself in a hole. The publicist got a call, who also repeated to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. He was like, 'Hey, Dwayne said you delete every video and picture you've done of him.
"Maybe in the future, the relationship will settle down, but for now, he basically wants nothing to do with you." Which made sense to me too. I get it. I made a bizarre error", via ET Canada.
YouTube further stated that it was beyond sad for them to receive such a response from their "hero". Following the 2017 controversy, Logan removed the video from his account and issued a public apology for it.
Before getting embroiled in controversy, the two had appeared in several viral videos together, including one in which Paul was seen visiting Johnson on the sets of the 2017 film Baywatch.
