| Dwayne Johnson prepares to deliver keynote remarks during The Motion Picture Association of America's 'Business of Show Business' symposium at the Hotel Monaco on April 21 in Washington, DC. |
We just love that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was introduced Tuesday as a “true member of the Disney family,” for there’s something sweet about a 6’6”, 275 lb. wrestling-icon-turned-Disney-blockbuster movie star.
Though now deemed a more family friendly actor than when he first made his move from the WWE to the big screen eight years ago in “The Mummy,” The Rock still couldn’t hide some of his signature charismatic bad-boy persona.
Appearing in a button-down shirt (unbuttoned just enough to see part of his large tribal chest tattoo), the keynote speaker for the Motion Picture Association of America symposium said he knows what’s on our minds.
“I know what you’re thinking. He’s just as good looking as the President,” Johnson joked, alluding to his recent skit on “Saturday Night Live,” “I’m The Rock Obama.”
Though he compared himself to the prez, Johnson told Yeas & Nays he has no plans to run for office because he’s “enjoying making films too much.” In fact, he told us this is his first time he’s been in town since his “good looking” twin has been in office, and he plans to bring his daughter (who sat by his side at the lunch) back for another trip so they can tour the White House.
I think we smell what The Rock is cooking: a little presidential meet and greet?
