It appears to be like like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gained’t be heading to the Oval Office!
As you could know, the previous wrestler has lengthy hinted at operating for president or another elected workplace over time. He even informed USA Today in February 2021 that he “would consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted.” Well, a ballot from a few months later discovered that if Dwayne determined to affix the following presidential election, he would have a powerful probability on the place as round 46 p.c of 30,000 folks surveyed by Pipslay would give The Rock their vote.

At the time, the Baywatch star didn’t shut down the concept, saying in response to the ballot on social media:
“Humbling. I don’t think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club – but if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve you, the people.”
But it seems like he had a change of coronary heart now! In a preview for an upcoming interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the 50-yr-outdated actor revealed {that a} presidential run is “off the table.” Why is that? He mentioned his “number one” precedence proper now could be being a dad to his three daughters – 21-yr-outdated Simone Johnson, 6-yr-outdated Jasmine Johnson, and 4-yr-outdated Tiana Johnson. Awww! Dwayne defined:
“It’s off the table. Yes. It is off the table. I will say this because it requires a B-side to this. I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy. And that’s the most important thing to me is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters’ lives.”
He continued:
“I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years in my first daughter’s [life]. Growing up in this critical age at this critical time in their life, and that’s what the presidency will do. So my number one priority is my daughters. Sure, CEO sounds great. But the number one thing I wanna be is daddy. That’s it.”
Honestly, we will respect that! You can ch-ch-try the sneak peek of the interview (beneath):
