Dwayne
Johnson
is
the
latest
celebrity
to
join
a
long
list
of
American
celebrities
who
have
run
for
political
office.
Johnson
who
is
one
of
the
highest-paid
and
most
popular
actors
in
the
US,
once
again
confirmed
that
he
had
eyes
on
the
White
House.
The
actor
on
Monday
said
that
he
would
consider
running
for
the
presidential
election
if
he
had
enough
support
from
fellow
Americans.
While
this
is
not
the
first
time
Johnson
hinted
at
the
idea,
he
opened
up
about
the
bid
for
the
White
House
after
an
online
public
opinion
poll
found
that
46%
of
Americans
would
consider
voting
for
Johnson.
In
the
teaser
of
an
interview
for
Sunday
Today
With
Willie
Geist,
he
was
heard
saying,
"I
do
have
that
goal
to
unite
our
country
and
I
also
feel
that
if
this
is
what
the
people
want,
then
I
will
do
that.
I
am
passionate
about
making
sure
our
country
is
united,
because
a
united
country,
as
we
know,
is
its
strongest.
And
I
want
to
see
that
for
our
country."
The
online
poll
result
was
released
last
week
by
a
consumer
trends
company
called
Piplsay.
The
former
professional
wrestler
known
as
The
Rock,
did
not
reveal
which
party
he
would
represent
or
when
he
might
launch
any
bid
for
the
White
House.
Earlier
in
an
Instagram
post,
he
had
opened
up
about
running
for
the
presidential
election,
however,
he
didn't
seem
positive
about
the
outcome.
He
wrote,
"I
don't
think
our
Founding
Fathers
EVER
envisioned
a
six-four,
bald,
tattooed,
half-Black,
half-Samoan,
tequila
drinking,
pick-up
truck
driving,
fanny-pack
wearing
guy
joining
their
club
-
but
if
it
ever
happens
it'd
be
my
honor
to
serve
you,
the
people."
Johnson
is
best
known
for
films
like
Jumanji,
Fast
and
Furious,
Baywatch
and
more.
Apart
from
Johnson,
American
rapper
Kanye
West
has
also
expressed
interest
in
the
next
US
presidential
election.
