Dwayne Johnson has decried cancel culture.
The star admits that the “easy cancel culture” in the modern climate really “bugs” him and prevents people from being authentic.
“Today’s easy cancel culture world, and cancel culture, woke culture, this culture, that culture, division, et cetera — that really bugs me,” Johnson said.
“In the spirit of that, you either succumb and be what you think other people want you to be, or you go, ‘Well, no, that’s not who I am. I’m gonna be myself, and I’m gonna be real,'” the Black Adam star said.
“If you ask me something, a real answer is important, and the truthful answer’s important — and that may get people upset,” Johnson told Fox News.
Polls have previously shown that the Snitch actor would have plenty of support if he ran for U.S. president, but he has dismissed any notion of a bid for the White House.
“As of now, no, that’s not my intention. I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics. I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are, too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me.” the former WWE star — who has daughters Jasmine and Tiana with his wife Lauren Hashian and Simone from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia — said.
“I also feel like, in the spirit of bringing people together and bringing our country together, I don’t know if that’s the right move at this point, possibly. I don’t know. As of now,” Johnson added.
