Dwayne Johnson Explains Why He’s Not Running for President

Black Adam lead actor, Dwayne Johnson has revealed why he will not run for president, as reported by Screenrant.

Johnson, also famously referred to by his former wrestling name “The Rock,” has found fame and success as an action movie star.

Since beginning his film career in the early 2000s, Johnson has starred in a string of blockbuster hits including The Mummy Returns, Moana, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and the Fast and Furious films.

Though his father, famous wrestler Rocky Johnson, hails from Canada, Johnson was born in California and holds both American and Canadian citizenship.

After graduating from college, Johnson briefly played in the Canadian Football League before beginning his wrestling career in the 1990s.

He has since settled in Los Angeles where Johnson resides with his three daughters. In addition to his acting career, Johnson has been involved in philanthropic efforts and has been politically vocal in his support of the Democratic Party.

While publicly endorsing Joe Biden in 2020, Johnson hinted at his own interest in the presidency and possibly running some day in the near future.

In a CBS News Sunday Morning Show interview with Tracy Smith, Johnson confirms he will not be running for president, stating that he doesn’t want to be away from his children.

In the video clip posted on his Instagram account (above), Johnson explains that although he loves his country and has been approached by many people about the prospect, he has already experienced the strain a busy career can have on family life.

“I know what it’s like to not be there all the time as a father, because of an unrelenting work schedule,” the actor wrote in the caption. “I won’t let that happen ever again.”
