Former WWE star and Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson popularly known as The Rock recently revealed one of the things he may explore in the future.
The star disclosed that he has been toying with the idea of running for America's presidency.
The Rock, however, noted that his final decision to run and achievement are dependent on what people think about it.
The entertainer in a recent interview with members of the fourth estate said that he would consider running for the president's post if that was what people wanted.
According to The Independent, the actor had confirmed that he was not joking.
The Rock may be ready and truly passionate about his dream of becoming an American president but a cross section of people think otherwise.
Among people who feel The Rock does not stand a chance is none other than members of the Green Party and it leaders with the party's spokesperson vehemently held the star does not have all it takes to lead the country.
According to Green Party spokesperson Michael O'Neil's, The Rock will be floored very early should he join the presidential race.
O'Neil held that The Rock can only win if he is willing to stand up to billionaires and fight for everyday people, the poor.
The Green Party spokesperson went on to state that The Rock may not be tough enough to deal with the dirty tricks both the Republican and Democratic parties would throw at him during the race.
O'Neil likened Democrats and Republicans to brutal cartels who would fight hard to keep voters from any real alternatives, such as Dwayne Johnson.
The political party spokesperson wrapped up by saying Dwayne may stand a chance if he is up to the challenge of fighting billionaire elites and having his rich Hollywood pals turn on him.
It should be noted the actor has been very secretive about his political leanings but endorsed Joe Biden a month before the 2020 US election.
The Rock may have announced his interest but has not yet disclosed which party he will be representing in the poll should he join it.
