During an interview with CBS News to promote Black Adam, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said that he will not be running for President.
“It’s off the table. Yes. It is off the table. I will say this because it requires the 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. Especially during this time, this critical time in my daughter’s lives.
Because 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 growing up in this critical age at this critical time in her life. That’s what the presidency will do. My number 1 priority is my daughters. Sure, CEO sounds great but the number 1 thing I want to be is daddy. That’s it.”
Rock had previously teased running for president one day but as seen in the clip below, he is putting his family ahead of politics.
