Dwayne The Rock Johnson spoke up about the latest rumors about him running for a president of the USA. The famous actor didn’t dismiss the option of a candidacy and on “The Tonight Show” he spoke really seriously about it.
JOHNSON: A real national poll that brought together Republicans and Democrats in saying that I would beat Donald Trump if we had an election today
FALLON: Absolutely.
JOHNSON: — to become president. And I’ve been really been blown away. And it’s so flattering. And I think you have to question why. I think it’s because, you know, a lot of people want to see a different leadership today — I’m sorry, not different, but better leadership today, right? A better leadership. I think more poised, less noise. And I also think that over the years I’ve become a guy that a lot of people kind of relate to: get up early in the morning at a ridiculous hour, go to work and spend time with the troops, take care of my family. I love taking care of people. And I think that kind of thing really resonates with people, especially today. I love coming here to “The Tonight Show” crowd.
FALLON: We love you.
JOHNSON: I mean, really, I’ve been blown away. And I’m very flattered by it. Three and a half years is a long ways away. So we’ll see.
It wouldn’t be a big surprise to see Johnson succeeding Trump since they have many things in common. But we’ll see how having famous people taking part in politics will reflect on the future of the state. Many people say that celebrities should not involve in politics because many people will support them for the wrong reasons, and they also have no knowledge and experience to handle the pressure. So, good luck Dwayne if you decide to take such a big step.
