THE ROCK RULES OUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has ruled out once and for all wanting to run for president of the United States.

A now recurring joke (also fomented by the fact that, in the autobiographical series Young Rock , the actor is indeed a candidate) and a hypothesis that Johnson had never liquidated. Till now.

Interviewed by Tracy Smith on CBS Sunday Morning, The Rock said the nomination is “out of the question”:

Yes, that’s out of the question. I say this because it would require a “side B” to all of this [the acting career].

Dwayne Johnson added:

I love our country and all those who live there. I also love being a dad. Being a dad is the most important thing to me, it’s number one, especially at such a critical time in my daughters’ lives. Because I know what it means to be always on the road and so busy that I am not present in the first years of my first daughter’s life.

The actor concluded by saying that for him “the most important thing is to be a dad”.

Previously, Dwayne Johnson had not ruled out the possibility of running for president. His statements had also sparked reflections on the possibility that The Rock could reunify a political landscape strongly split by the Trump presidency. But evidently paternity is involved between saying and doing.
