The Rock Confirms He Is Still Considering A Presidential Bid In The Future

WWE

The Rock has confirmed that he is still considering running for United States President in the future.

With the SAG-AFTRA strike now over, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be an extremely busy man with his acting career in Hollywood and running his businesses, including Seven Bucks Productions, Teremana and the XFL.

However, this has not stopped Johnson from still considering a run at the highest office in the United States of America.

Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Rock was asked about his approval rating before being asked whether he is still considering a run for U.S. President. He answered:

“It’s crazy, and it’s wild. This run for President talk has kind of been in the ether for the past couple of years. And it just never stops being surreal. It was incredible.”

“It came from DC. We sat down. The poll was something like almost 50% of Americans would support me running for President. It was just crazy.”

“So, and by the way, thank you. But it’s like, dude, we’ve talked about this. It’s like not too long ago.”

“Years ago, I was wrestling in flea markets for 40 bucks per match, hoping that, ‘Hey, I just want a free corn dog at the end of the night.'”

“And now here we are, years later, I’m sitting with you, and this talk has come up, and it’s real. And I’m so grateful. So if you are of the almost 50%, I thank you tequila on me, by the way, I appreciate it.”

Johnson continued on to explain his thought process when it comes to a presidential bid and being a father for his children, saying:

“I think down the road for sure. I’ve said this before: I’m a proud girl, dad. I have a 22-year-old, I have a seven, and I have a five.”

“So they’re all age ranges. And my 22-year-old, I like to say we grew up together, and at that time, I was wrestling full time, 230 dates, 200 wrestling matches a year. So, I was always gone.”

“And I know what that’s like to have an occupation that takes me away from being a daddy. And this time around, with my seven and my five-year-old, I want to be a daddy.”

“And that’s the most important thing to me. So be around, be there, be there. I want to be around.”

On Trevor Noah’s “What Now” podcast, The Rock revealed that multiple political parties have approached him about running for United States President.

As previously reported, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle commented on the potential of his former rival becoming President.
