Dwayne Johnson responds to latest calls for him to run for US President: ‘I’m not a politican’

American actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has finally responded to the latest calls for him to run for US President. Sharing an update on his political aspirations, the actor said that he’s doubtful whether he would be the right choice for the job.

Earlier this year, in February, the Jungle Cruise star said that he would still consider a presidential run in the future if it’s “what the people wanted.” However, it now appears he might have had a change of heart.

Taking to his Instagram on Saturday, the 40-year-old actor and former wrestler wrote, “Conversations always swirl when it comes to me running for POTUS one day.”

“The latest poll showed that 46% of Americans would support me running for President. For my @vanityfair interview, I spent a lot of time with my writer (and tequila drinking buddy:), Chris Heath about my honest feelings regarding this unbelievable support I potentially could have,” he added.

While the Rampage actor admitted that this public support is “so humbling,” he’s not sure that he has the right qualifications for the job. “At the end of the day, I don’t know the first thing about politics,” Johnson said. “I care deeply about our country. And I care about every [expletive] American who bleeds red — and that’s all of them. There’s no delusion here.”

He continued, “I may have some leadership qualities but that doesn’t necessarily make me a great Presidential candidate. And that’s where I am today.”

“I’m not a politician so I don’t care what side of the street you live on or what side of the aisle you sit on,” Johnson wrote. “Core values matter. Work hard, take care of your family, be kind to people, take pride in your name, take pride in your own two hands, be inclusive and respect EVERYONE and don’t be full of [expletive]. I’m not a politician, but that’s the truth.”

The actor will be next seen in Netflix’s upcoming action-packed film, Red Notice. He will be sharing the screen space with Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.
