Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Considers Running for President of United States

Popular actor and former WWE star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has recently considered the possibility of running for president of the United States.

Johnson, 48, who has starred in films such as Fast and The Furious and Jumanji, told host William Geist of the Today show that he will run if that’s what the American people ultimately want.

“I do have that goal to unite our country,” Johnson explained. “I also feel that, if this is what the people want, then I will do that.”

“I am passionate about making sure that our country is united because a united country, as we know, is the strongest, and I want to see that for our country,” he continued.

A recent study published by Newsweek found that 46 percent of Americans want the wrestler-turned-actor to run for president.

In February, NBC premiered a new sitcom, Young Rock, based on Johnson’s life.

Johnson, who plays himself in the show, is coincidentally running as a presidential candidate in the 2032 election, as he recalls several periods of his life to a journalist in an interview.

This isn’t the first time Johnson has considered running for office.
