Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson speaks out on his interest to plug into the political bandwagon. Dwayne was born into a professional wrestling family in 1972. From football to professional and entertainment wrestling, his career reached a constant high. However, it was in wrestling where his acting career started. There was no trace of any interest in politics in those times.
Dwayne Johnson started out as "The Rock," a popular figure in professional wrestling of which his famous catchphrase "Can you smell what 'The Rock' is cooking?" was commercialized. Then became an actor in 2001 known for such films as "The Mummy Returns," followed by "The Scorpion King", "Tooth Fairy", and his most recent projects include "Furious Seven" which dominated the big screen, "Moana" and the HBO series "Ballers".
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Enters Politics? White House Soon?
"The Rock's" patriotism blossomed anew as the fever in what seems to be the fieriest election filled the air. Early this year in a social media post, Johnson thanked a journalist who commented that the actor may well be "weirdly plausible pursuing a political path."
When asked whether he may be interested in a potential White house run, he replied: "If I felt like I could be an effective leader for us, and surround myself with really high-quality leaders, then sure, I would," he told Reuters.
"The Rock's" Idea Of A Good Politician
He said that it is important that you walk the talk and to one's self in a positive way as he pushed way along the way too. Johnson thinks this is an important quality if one should serve his country. And if he does take on politics, he would be following another pro wrestler, Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, who served Minnesota, and body builder-turned-action star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who served two terms as governor of California.
Although Johnson did not specify which office he might pursue when he might run or which party he would represent, he said he believed running a business as a producer in Hollywood had given him a discipline he hoped he could apply to politics, says ABC.
