Dwayne Johnson is the biggest movie star in the world, but in recent years there were rumors that The Rock could point to a political office, in particular
Johnson could run for president of the United States. In the past, The Rock has at least teased the possibility that he is seriously considering racing, but now he says his candidacy is “out of the question” at least for now because his father’s job is more important than him.
In an interview clip posted on Twitter by cb Sunday morning , Dwayne Johnson is asked about his political ambitions and says running for president is not an option, at least not right now. The Rock says right now is a critical time in his young daughters’ lives, so he’s going to be there for them first and foremost. Johnson explains …
It is irrelevant. Yes, it is not on the table. I’ll say this because you need a B-side for that. I love our country and everyone who lives there. I also love being a dad. And that’s the most important thing for me, to be a number one dad, especially at this time, at this critical time in my daughters’ life.
Dwayne Johnson has two young daughters, ages seven and four, and he wants to see them grow up and be there for them. He understands that demands to simply run for president, regardless of whether he has the job, would force him to focus on other things in his life than him, and he has no intention of doing that.
And Johnson has a unique perspective on exactly that, as he admits he’s already made that mistake. The Rock has an eldest daughter from her first marriage, who admits he wasn’t always there for her in her early years, and he doesn’t want to make the same mistake. Johnson continues …
I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I have been away for many years. My first daughter is growing up in this critical age at this critical time in her life and that’s what the presidency will do. So my number one priority is my girls. Sure, the CEO sounds good. But the first thing I want to be is dad, that’s all.
Dwayne Johnson’s first daughter was born in 2001 when he was still active in WWE and had just started his film career. These two things together have certainly taken him a long way from his family. He clearly regrets this fact and now that he’s a big star and one of the highest paid actors in the world he doesn’t need to be away from his family that long, so he just won’t. .
I think we all agree that Dwayne Johnson has his priorities here. That said, he’s only 50 now, he’s actually the youngest of most presidential candidates. A decade from now, when his children are older, Johnson would still be young enough to run for office, so while being president may be out of the question right now, that could change in the future.
