Few people carry the charisma and magnetic personality that Dwayne Johnson does. Since his WWE days, the Hollywood star has shown the ability to draw attention to himself and keep the audience in the palm of his hand.

This has made him one of the most sought-after actors at the box office as well. And despite his reputation taking a hit with the debacle around DC’s Black Adam, the fact remains that The Rock is an attractive proposition in pop culture.

Famous American TV personality Ryan Seacrest reaffirmed this after he named him as his dream co-host for the iconic Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve for 2023.

Seacrest said people would pay attention to Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is a global star and has millions and millions of fans worldwide. His popularity has soared since he made the move from WWE to Hollywood and is among the most well-known celebrities today.

His box office success and the fact he rarely misses the mark with anything he does makes him a bankable option for many TV and movie-related events. And despite the recent turmoil with DC things are looking up for the People’s Champion.

Thus, it comes as a little surprise that Seacrest wants DJ to be his co-host for the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve event in 2023. The former American Idol host first began hosting the live event on New Year’s eve in 2005 outside Times Square.

Since then a number of popular names have joined him as co-hosts. Speaking to the New York Post, Seacrest said he would like to have The Great One as his co-host for the 2023 event.

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is a special broadcast primarily from Times Square in New York on ABC. It features coverage of the ball drop event, a countdown to the new year, and performances from top artists. This year the event was the highest-rated and most-watched New Year’s Eve celebration telecast.

If Seacrest’s wish comes true and The Rock ends up hosting the event later this year, it could easily shatter many records. The Brahma Bull enjoys a tremendous mass appeal and is a proven ticket seller and can get more eyes than ever before on the show.
