WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson refuses to rule out running for presidency live on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show
WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has hinted that a Presidential run could be in his future.
The 51-year-old wrestling star, businessman, and Hollywood icon appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday live from Boulder, Colorado.
Among the plethora of topics discussed during his fascinating time on the show was the evergreen discussion of whether Johnson could one day run for President.
Support for Johnson’s theoretical Presidential candidacy has been rife, according to polls, for some time.
In 2021, Newsweek published a poll that claimed that “at least 46 percent of Americans would support a presidential run.”
And on Friday, Johnson seemingly kept the door open to “maybe” running in the future.
“I don’t know if I’m the right guy or not the right guy. I gotta tell you that I have been just really overwhelmed, and so humbling, to have people tell me what they tell me and these polls that come out,” he said.
Johnson later added that to go “From seven bucks to having that kind of conversation is really incredible.”
However, don’t expect Johnson to head into the world of politics just yet.
“Right now, I’m a proud girl dad, I got a seven-year-old I got a five-year-old, and I love being home taking them to school picking them up and making cookies and doing that,” he said.
“And I just know that if something like that, a Presidency, would happen, all that goes away.
“And I’ve been there before, I’ve got a 22-year-old too as well who’s in pro wrestling, the WWE, she’s kicking a** I’m so proud of her.
“But in wrestling, I was gone all the time and I missed so many years with her and it’s heartbreaking dude.
“So I feel like, I don’t want that to happen right now with my girls. Now, my girls will eventually grow up and get older and then maybe, we’ll see.”
