Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has refused to quash rumors he’s considering a run for the White House.
“I think the ‘People’s President’ has a really nice ring to that. I’ll just say that,” Johnson said at Los Angeles Comic Con on Saturday after being asked why a potential White House bid appealed to him, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Paperwork to form an official presidential campaign committee called “Run the Rock 2020” was filed with the Federal Election Commission in July by a freelance writer unaffiliated with the actor, director, and professional wrestler.
Johnson told GQ in May running for president was “a real possibility,” before slamming President Trump’s lack of leadership.
Earlier, he told Vanity Fair in November 2016 a campaign “would be a great opportunity to help people.”
Johnson is currently promoting his new film, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.”
