Action star and former professional wrestler,
The Rock (real name Dwayne Johnson), has his eye on the White House. Johnson
stated his political aspirations during a radio interview. He sited the
success of action-hero turned California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,
and told listeners that he wouldnt rule out the possibility that there
"there could be another President Johnson in the White House one day."
Although the comments appear to have been
presented in a joking manner, Johnson seems to like the idea of entering
politics. When asked is he would follow in Schwarzeneggers political footsteps
he responded, "Possibly, you never know. Maybe one day. Absolutely... I
talked to Arnold about that, too."
Johnsons previous foray into politics
included appearances at the 2000 Democratic and Republican conventions,
where he spoke to encourage people to register to vote.
Johnson was conducting the interview to
promote his new action movie, Walking Tall, which hits theatres on April
2nd.
