Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may be our next president. Addressing Donald Trump's unexpected victory at the November 8 election, the actor said during a press conference for his upcoming film "Moana" that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of him running for the Oval Office in 2020.
"I wouldn't rule it out," The Rock told Vanity Fair at the event in Los Angeles on Sunday. November 13. "It would be a great opportunity to help people, so it's possible. This past election shows that anything can happen."
The Rock may have no political experience, but he's no stranger to participating in political events. Back in 2000, he spoke at the Republican national Convention where he urged young people to vote.
This isn't the first time the idea of The Rock being a president has come up. Prior to his chat with Vanity Fair, the Independent Journal Review published an article about his potential presidential run. In response, he tweeted the article last March and wrote alongside it, "Maybe one day. Surely the White House has a spot for my pick up truck."

In the meantime, The Rock is still focusing on his acting career. "Moana", in which he will also show off his vocal chops, is hitting U.S. theaters on November 23.
