Joe Rogan is one of the most influential personalities in the world of MMA. His medium of speech is his famous podcast and social media. The UFC commentator can turn the audience’s head in any direction just by his words. Moreover, the former fear factor host might also be creating headlines unintentionally. However, some repercussions are always warranted by actions or words spoken by the controversial commentator.

Joe Rogan Experience #1905 might be responsible for one such news which resulted in a Hollywood star answering questions. The guest for that episode, Derek, shares his take on the issue.

Derek from the “More Plates More Dates” YouTube Channel tweeted his thoughts on Hugh Jackman’s interview. The YouTuber was astonished at the number of tags he received on the interview. He tweeted, “For the first time ever in his 20+ years playing Wolverine, Hugh Jackman was asked if he used Steroids. The amount of times I’ve been tagged in this over the past week is wild. I can’t help but wonder if my conversation with @joerogan last month had anything to do with it.” 

Moreover, it is highly likely that the influential podcaster’s fans created a stir for such an interview to take place. In JRE #1905, Rogan and Derek spoke about Hollywood celebrities taking steroids. They questioned how the mainstream audience isn’t asking any questions to their favorite stars. They spoke about Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman. Speaking on the Wolverine actor, the UFC podcaster said, “Like Wolverine. Like, cut the f*****g sh*t.”

This podcast episode might be the reason for Hugh Jackman being asked such a line of questioning for the first time.

What Hugh Jackman said in the interview?

Hugh Jackman answered some questions about steroid use in an interview with Variety. The X-men actor said “No. I love my job and I love Wolverine. I gotta be careful with what I say here but I had been told anecdotally what the side effects are of that. And I was like “I don’t want that”

Furthermore, the actor added, “So, no, I just did it the old school way and I tell ya I’ve eaten more chicken. Also sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians and to the chickens of the world… The karma is not good for me.”
