Dwayne Johnson has mentioned multiple times that he wanted to run for president. While teasing it, he never fully invested himself in politics. However, now he explains why he never went into the idea of becoming a candidate or actually running for a presidential election.
Dwayne Johnson recalls a touching moment
While on the What Now? with Trevor Noah podcast, Johnson talked about his thoughts on running for president and explained why he never committed to the idea. Moreover, he explained how people actually wanted him to run and his thoughts on it.
“At the end of 2022, I got a visit from the parties, asking me if I was going to run, if I could run,” Johnson said. This was after he said on social media that he was interested in running for a presidential campaign.
“My goal has never been to be in politics. As a matter of fact, there is a lot about politics that I hate,” He added. Even in the WWE, Johnson has been one of those guys who never engaged in backstage politics. Unlike The Undertaker, he was never part of any group in the WWE that had control over things.
Despite all this, Johnson claimed, “If that’s truly what the people want, then of course I will consider it.” This goes to show that Johnson is really a people person and despite his views on politics, he would happily join if people asked him to.
