The Rock Would Consider Running For President

Former WWE superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently spoke with USA Today, where he discussed a number of topics. Among them was the story behind his new NBC sitcom “Young Rock”, running for President of the United States, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On the story behind “Young Rock”:

“The fun thing about ‘Young Rock’ is everything that people see in this first episode and throughout the season, everything happened,” says Johnson. “Now, what we do is, maybe it happened in a different year, maybe it happened in a different city.”

“Honestly, what would happen is when I stepped out of line like that, I would be brought into the ring,” he says. “Their way of discipline was to take me in the ring. And beat my a– in a way that I learned actually how not fake wrestling is.”

On running for President of the United States:

“I would consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted,” he says. “Truly I mean that, and I’m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would be up to the people…So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the pulse, my ear to the ground.”
