Many hoped that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be a potential rocker for America, but instead the beloved actor and businessman intends to be a rocker for his daughters.

A bid for the president is ‘off the table,’ Johnson tells Tracey Smith with CBS News Sunday morning.

“I love our country and everyone,” the WWE legend said in the interview. “I also love being a dad. And that’s the most important thing for me is being a dad. First, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters’ lives.”

The Rock is the father of three children: Jasmine Lia, 6 years old and Tiana Gia, 4 years old with his wife Lauren Hashian, and Simone Alexandra, 21 years old from a previous marriage.

“I know what it was like to be on the road and to be so busy that I was away for many years,” he lamented.

Admired around the world, a 2021 poll found that 58% of Americans would have liked to see Johnson as the next president of the United States. In the same poll, 58% said they would support actor Matthew McConaughey.

Last year, the 50-year-old produced and starred in two big movies, ‘Jungle Cruise’ and ‘Red Notice’, launched his sitcom ‘Young Rock’, saw his company Teremana Tequila experience unprecedented growth and became the most followed American. man on instagram.
