The Rock is a one-of-a-kind persona in the history of the sports entertainment business who paved the way for many. Before him, it was hard to believe that a professional wrestler could make a name for himself in the mainstream world. He conquered that myth after enjoying a successful career and making it big in the Hollywood industry.
The biggest-ever name to be produced by the WWE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been dominating Hollywood as he stayed away from the squared circle for all these years. Down the road, he’s also gone on to become one of the industry’s highest-paid actors cum the biggest box office attraction in the movie industry.

His dominance in different industries and immense popularity has led many to suggest The Rock could be a perfect candidate for running for the United States of America as the president. Over the past couple of years, there have been rumors about The Great One possibly entering the world of politics, and The Rock himself seemed open to the opportunity until now.

The Rock clarifies that his daughters are his priorities
During an exclusive interview with CBS Sports, The Rock was found stating that his plans to run for the presidency are “off the table.” He cited the desire to be there for his second daughter as he was absent for his first daughter Simone who is currently training at the WWE Performance Center. Apparently, the megastar loved being a dad than being the POTUS,
“I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy, and that’s the most important thing to me is being a daddy number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughter’s lives. Because I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years in my first daughter’s growing up in this critical age at this critical time in her life, anyway. That’s what the presidency will do. My number one priority is my daughters.” (quotes courtesy SeScoops)
