Dwayne 'Proud to Be an American' Johnson Mulls Political Future

Dwayne 'Proud to Be an American' Johnson Mulls Political Future

Dwayne Johnson, the actor once known by his wrestling moniker “The Rock,” couldn’t wait to Tweet about the death of Osama bin Laden.

Johnson is just as eager to share his love for the U.S. and talk about how he shows it now … and in the future. Turns out we might have another actor-turned-politician on our hands. Here’s Johnson taking about being one of the first few Americans to share the news of bin Laden’s death via social media and his future job plans:

I got friends in high places and low places. It was a very interesting day; I’m proud of our country and proud to be American….

Right now the best way that I can impact the world is through entertainment. One day, and that day will come, I can impact the world through politics. The great news is that I am American, therefore I can become President.


Johnson would be following in the footsteps of former action hero king Arnold Schwarzenegger as well as Ronald Reagan. Who knows how a foreign power might react to Johnson’s massive frame – or his signature eyebrow raise?

The actor’s latest action film, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” opens Friday.
