Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson says political parties approached him to run for president: 'One after the other'
Fox News
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson says political parties approached him about a serious run for president after a popular poll in 2021 showed that nearly half of Americans would vote for him.
"That was an interesting poll that happened, and I was really moved by that. And I was really uh, blown away. I was really honored," he told Trevor Noah on his "What Now?" podcast.

"At the end of the year . . . in 2022 I got a visit from the parties, asking me if I was going to run and if I could run," Johnson spilled. "It was a big deal. And it came out of the blue. And it was one after the other."
