Dwayne Johnson or The Rock was close to getting canceled on Twitter for a very specific tweet. This tweet would be in regard to the recent passing of the Queen of England. As many have come to know that the actor has been working on advertising his upcoming DC film, Black Adam. The advertisements for the film have been quite entertaining due to the actor’s natural charm added in with a promising trailer for the same.

However, the tweet in question advertises the film by attaching itself to the passing of the Queen. The actor made a quick recovery after he uploaded a video of himself addressing the tragedy. This video was uploaded immediately after the tweet about his film and the Queen began to go viral.

A fake tweet began to get viral on Thursday right after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II was announced. The tweet which seemed to originate from the actor, Dwayne Johnson stated as follows:

“Rest in peace to Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II. A great woman who sat on the throne as long as anyone in British history. Sad she will never get to see #BlackAdam IN THEATERS OCT 21st”

The actor’s Twitter account was used to send a fake condolence message to the royal family in response to the Queen’s passing. The Rock is known to be so wholesome and charming to the core. It is clear that the Jumanji actor does not advertise in such a manner. Especially advertising his movie with the aid of a tragedy. The tweet itself may be hilarious, however, it is also extremely offensive.
