JAKARTA - Logan Paul says his friendship with Dwayne Johnson ended after he released a controversial 'suicide jungle' video.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer vlogs in Aokigahara, a forest in Japan where many people commit suicide.

There, Paul filmed a corpse, which drew strong criticism and had an impact on his friendship with Johnson.

"After the video incident in Japan, it was clear I found myself in a hole, rightfully so, mentally very low, and I got a call from my publicist, who also represents Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson," Paul said on the True Geordie podcast. Marca, Monday, June 27.

"And he was like, 'Hey, Dwayne has asked you to delete every picture and video you've uploaded,'" Paul continued.

"I think we have a healthy relationship, open lines of communication, and I'm very sad that my hero doesn't want to communicate with me."

Paul explained that although he understood he had made a "weird mistake", he wished Johnson would call or text him instead of communicating through public relations.

In fact, after that, there was no contact between the two sides.

However, Paul revealed Johnson messaged him via Instagram a few months ago, and although he chose not to reply, he still thinks the actor is "amazing."
