Former wrestler and Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson told Joe Rogan he was visited by a political party asking him to run for president.
“One of the parties came to visit me at the end of last year, asking for me to run,” Johnson told Rogan on Wednesday’s episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. “It was, first of all, incredibly f***ing surreal because I was the guy who was, you know, wrestling at flea markets, looking for free corn dogs and hot dogs and s***.”

Not only did the political party ask the former WWE champion to run, but it also presented him with data about how a presidential election featuring The Rock would play out, Johnson said.
“They had all this data that said that if this happens, here’s the results, and it was really f***ing deep,” he told Rogan. “Then, I started to think, again surreal, because that’s never been my goal. I appreciate it, and I’m f***ing honored.”
“It made me think. It’s either this is an incredible thing, and I got some pretty decent leadership skills, or things are so f***ed up.”
Rogan and Johnson shared a laugh over the notion a pro-wrestling movie star would be asked to become the most powerful man in the world.
Both men then discussed who that person should be to lead the nation.
“I wait for … like, who’s [going to] step up,” Johnson said. “As you were talking about, we live in this time with incredible technology, communicate so fast, and you could be as open as your aperture stretches out to be, and you can get as much information as you can.”
“So, where are those people?”
People like that do not want to become president, according to Rogan.

“They’re running their own lives, and they’re looking on the sideline, wishing that someone with real leadership skills and real wisdom and real empathy and a real moral compass, who’s not governed entirely by money,” Rogan said.
Those qualities, especially empathy, are critical, Johnson said.
