The Rock Is Closing The Door On Running For Office: ‘The Number One Thing I Wanna Be Is Daddy’

At some point in a celebrity’s career, they may or may not be asked if they would run for some sort of political office. It’s weird, yes, but it happens a lot! And sometimes it even goes too far. But when stars are constantly praised and idolized, it makes sense that they would want to be even more powerful and get involved in the government. Even though Dwayne The Rock Johnson potentially harnesses enough power to run not only the country but the world, it seems like he does not want to do it!

The former pro-wrestler/actor/pancake aficionado was recently asked if he would consider running for office, probably due to the leadership skills he learned while filming Jumanji. While Johnson has expressed interest in running in the past, his priorities have shifted, and it seems like he wants to focus on his family.

“It’s off the table. Yes. It is off the table,” Johnson told CBS when asked about running for president. “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.”
