Dwayne Johnson responded to a poll that nearly half of Americans would support him as president, challenging his potential ambitions for a senior position.
“I’m not sure our founding fathers ever imagined a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-black, half-samoan, tequila, truck driver, fanny pack carrying a guy who joins their club – but if it will ever happen, it would be my honor to serve the people, “the former pro-fighter wrote on Friday.
Johnson, 48, who used the stage name “The Rock”, was linked to a news report about a poll that found that 46 percent of Americans would support his presidential leadership.

Dwayne Johnson responded to a poll finding that nearly half of Americans would support him as president, teasing his potential ambitions for senior positions.
Johnson’s latest TV project is an NBC series based on his life, called Young Rock, where, in 2032, he launches a presidential election.
In 2016, Johnson told GQ magazine that the idea of being president was “appealing,” but said there would be “many other things” he would like to do first.
He has been repeating the sentiment since last February.
“I would consider a presidential election in the future, if that’s what people wanted,” said the star, who is married to 36-year-old Lauren Hashian.
“I really want to say that, and I’m not responding in any way to my answer,” Johnson added.
The star said that “it depends on the people” if he were forced to the White House: “I would wait and listen. I would have my finger on my wrist, my ear on the ground.
The recent Piplsay poll was conducted online from April 2 to April 4 and included just over 30,000 potential voters.
Johnson was not the only star on the list. Angelina Jolie received 30 percent support, while Oprah reached 27 percent and Tom Hanks 22 percent.

Dwayne revealed last week: “We’re about three weeks away from shooting Black Adam and I can’t believe we’re at the finish line with this. And what a journey it was. In fact, I can believe it, given how much I’ve worked over the years.
