Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been approached by political parties to run in the next U.S. presidential election.
The wrestler-turned-actor has previously discussed the prospect of entering the political arena, and Johnson has now revealed that he’s already been approached by political parties about making a run for the White House.
“At the end of the year in 2022, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run, and if I could run,” Johnson shared during an appearance on the “What Now? with Trevor Noah” podcast.
In 2021, a poll revealed that almost half of Americans would support Johnson if he decided to run for the presidency.
The 51-year-old actor has admitted to being flattered by the support, saying that he was “really honored” by the result of the poll.
“That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that. I was really blown away and I was really honored,” he said.
Johnson was shocked by the results of the survey. However, he’s refused to reveal which political parties have approached him.
“It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue. It was one after the other, and they brought up that poll, and they also brought up their own deep-dive research,” he said.
Meanwhile, Johnson previously revealed that he wants to “unite” America. The Hollywood star suggested in 2021 that he could run for the White House in a bid to bring the country together.
“I do have that goal to unite our country and I also feel that if this is what the people want, then I will do that,” Johnson told “Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist.”
Despite this, Johnson refused to reveal which party he would represent, after a survey from Piplsay — a consumer trends company — found that 46 percent of Americans would consider voting for him.
