Dwayne Johnson is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.

“In a recent interview this week, Johnson commented, ‘A guy begins dating a girl who just so happens to be the biggest star in the world, and he’s an impressive force on the field.'”

Dwayne Johnson, the 51-year-old actor known for his role as Black Adam, recently discussed his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship. In an interview with CNN Sports ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Johnson expressed his support for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dating Swift, with whom Johnson collaborated on her music video for “The Man.”

“I love it,” he shared with CNN on Friday. “I don’t have a problem with it. I feel like it’s all part of the game, and it’s all the game that we play.”

Johnson also commented, “A guy starts dating a girl who happens to be the biggest star in the world, and he’s a badass SOB on the field.”

Despite his support for their relationship, the former WWE champion emphasized that for Travis Kelce, 34, to contribute to his team’s pursuit of the Super Bowl ring, he must maintain his focus solely on playing at his peak.

“He’s a formidable force on the field, and while it’s part of a narrative, ultimately – and I’ve shared this sentiment with a few individuals in private conversations – all of that fades away,” Johnson remarked. “All those distractions fade away. You have to strip everything down and have one goal, one focus, and that’s simply to excel and perform in the game.”

Regarding his allegiance in the Super Bowl matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, Johnson confessed to CNN that although he has ties to San Francisco, he believes the Chiefs hold the advantage this time around.

“While I was born in the Bay Area, you can’t overlook Kansas City,” he stated. “I’m telling you, those guys are exceptional. Both teams are. I just sense greatness on both sides.”

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce shared his thoughts on the upcoming game during an episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, on Thursday. The tight end emphasized the importance of maintaining focus.

“For the next five days, we need to stay focused on this game,” he continued. “It’s crucial to remain focused on the task at hand amidst all the excitement. While there will be plenty of Super Bowls to attend for festivities once our playing days are over, right now, everyone is determined and locked in on the game ahead, and it’s thrilling to be here in Vegas.”
