Beefy: On Tuesday, Dwayne Johnson got some action in for himself when he was spotted on his way to the gym in NYC

Johnson’s sighting comes a day after he apologized for joking that he is new U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s cousin.

On July 28, the wrestler-actor wrote in jest on Twitter: ‘PM Boris Johnson is in fact my cousin (though we clearly look more like twins).

‘Jokes aside, PM did say something in his speech I liked – “the people are our bosses”. 100% agree. The people/audience/consumer will always matter most. #ourboss’

Out-and-about: Johnson, 47, put his pumped-up physique on full display in a tank with low-cut sleeves, Under Armour basketball shorts and a pair of ombré aviators as he trekked off to the machines to get his business done

He also brought the same punchline while appearing on Good Morning Britain on Monday morning.

‘He’s family. You don’t know that, but now all of Britain knows … he’s my cousin. It’s like looking in the mirror, every time I see Boris,’ he joked.

Many of his followers chimed in after his claim, criticizing him for misleading his audience.

This led the statuesque 6ft5in star to delete the original tweet and replace it with an apology, stating: ‘Well according to the people, maybe we’re not related after all.’

‘Big mahalo to my people who I can always rely on to give me the real talk and swift perspective and education on the individual I did not know. Tequila on me, Britain.’

At the moment, Johnson is busy promoting Hobbs & Shaw alongside his costar Jason Statham.

And back in April, he responded to rumors that he has eyes on the presidency.

‘I entertain the thought, and thank you, I’m so flattered by it,’ he told Rolling Stone.

‘But I feel like the best thing I can do now is, give me years. Let me go to work and learn.’
