Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Breaks Silence on Presidential Bid Amidst Urge From Voters' Poll
Veteran actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has this to say about a possible presidential bid following a massive popularity vote.
Dwayne Johnson is an actor, producer, and businessman. Dwayne's acting career dates back to as early as 1999 when he landed his first acting job in the film, "Beyond the Matt". He, later on, went on to star in major action films like the "Fast & Furious" film franchise, "Bay Watch", "San Andreas", and "Jumanji."He was also regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers of all time, dubbed "The Great One" during his wrestling career.
Citizens Want 'The Rock' As US President
However, the 50-year-old star has been held in high regard by the public for much more than acting and wrestling. In a 2021 popularity survey recorded by Pipslay, around 46% of 30,000 people attested that they would give their vote to Dwayne Johnson if he decided to run for US president.
Following the results of the poll, the "San Andreas" star took to Twitter to express his honor to serve as a potential candidate.
Not sure our Founding Fathers ever envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club - but if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve the people 🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇸 https://t.co/6Xd9ADzqX7

Dwayne Johnson to Focus on THIS Instead
After his Twitter statement last year, "The Rock" has made no mention of any political plans, until now.
In a recent interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, Dwayne Johnson reveals that any potential bid for the presidency is now "off the table" as he opts to focus on his role as a father instead.
"It's off the table. Yes, it is off the table," Johnson announced regarding political plans. "I will say this, 'cause it requires the B side to this: I love our country and everyone in it. And I also love being a daddy. And that's the most important thing to me, is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters' lives."
Additionally, the former pro-wrestler revealed that he had been approached by several influential figures urging him to side with them for politics in a recent Instagram post. However, he went on to express his commitment to making time for his children instead.
"Being a father to my little girls is the most important thing in my life. To raise 'em and always be there, during these critical years in their life." Dwayne wrote in his Instagram post caption. "I know what it's like to not be there all the time as a father, because of an unrelenting work schedule. I won't let that happen ever again."
Dwayne Johnson currently has three children. He shares daughter Simone with ex-wife Dany Garcia and daughters Jasmine and Tiana with his current wife, Lauren Hashian.
