What sets a guy distinct from others is not simply a skill or aptitude; it is also his character. And Dwayne Johnson has inspired millions of people with his positive attitude and charismatic persona. Meanwhile, The Rock’s potential run for president has also been questioned from time to time. Talking about the same, there is no reason to doubt DJ’s suitability as a presidential contender, according to a WWE legend.

The Rock has often hinted at running for president but hasn’t committed to it. Meanwhile, former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho, thinks The People’s Champ would be a great candidate and has made a reasonable argument for it.

The Rock was the center of attention constantly throughout 2017, having already established himself as a global phenomenon. He did, however, receive a lot of attention for one specific topic: his potential presidential run. Talking on the same subject as Larry King Now, Jericho was asked if he thinks Johnson has a chance of winning the presidency. And he offered a positive response and compare him with Donald Trump.

As he put it, “Absolutely. I’ll tell you the reason why. We live in a world now, I call it ‘The era of the celebrity President.’ Started with Obama a little bit, and now with Trump. No previous experience, knows how to work a camera, knows how to be charismatic. That’s what you need to be the president.”

It’s certain that The Great One possesses the qualities of a successful leader, including charisma, a strong love for what he does, and, most significantly, leadership skills. Thus, Y2J added, “If you have a guy like Rock who comes with super charismatic. He’s big guy, he commands, you know he has a presence about him. He could win.”

Dwayne Johnson has hinted that he would run for president

Occasionally, one thing remained constant: DJ never failed to make hints about running for president. Notably, the storyline of the television series Young Rock is that Johnson is campaigning for President of the United States in 2032. Not just that, The Rock is reported to have earlier stated that he was considering whether or not he genuinely wanted the idea of running for president.

Even with his strong oratory abilities and charms, politics can be difficult to fit in because it is a completely foreign environment to him. Do you believe The Rock will ever run for President? Tell us in the comments.
