In media interviews, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has teased the idea of running for President someday. I don’t see why he couldn’t do it. He’s done everything in professional wrestling and Hollywood and he wouldn’t be the first wrestler to get involved in politics (see: Jesse Ventura).
At Monday’s Democratic National Convention, some fans were holding up “Dwayne Johnson for President” signs. Earlier this year, he told Time Magazine that politics is something that interests him. He said, “I’ll be honest, I haven’t ruled politics out. I can’t deny that the thought of being governor, the thought of being president, is alluring.”
Rock still seems interested. This might be a story to follow in 2020. Check out some of his recent social media posts below:

Back in March, he teased that “maybe one day” he would run for President.
Cool piece on why I should run for President. Maybe one day. Surely the White House has a spot for my pick up truck..https://t.co/JpkZ4w1eh3

For now, Rock is has a full plate with his movie schedule, “Ballers” on HBO and his new YouTube channel. The channel just launched last week and he’s almost at 1 million subscribers and over 5,000,000 total views.
