Wrestler-turned-movie-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is keeping his political options open — including a White House run.
In a red-carpet interview at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie, "Rampage," the former WWE star known as "The Rock" declared, "I care about our country," Fox News reported Thursday.
"I wouldn't rule it out," he said.
"And I think . . . with the amount of people in a way campaigning for that, and being vocal about that, it's very flattering. And in that I care about our country . . . and our American people and our citizens, and the values of our country . . . of course, I would consider it."
Johnson first mentioned his Oval Office ambitions in a 2017 interview in Rolling Stone, saying he was "seriously considering" running for president in 2020 — and then recently told the magazine he was having "under the radar" meetings with political strategists.
"I think the key is . . . I have a tremendous amount of respect for public office," he told Fox News. ". . . Especially the job and title of the president of the United States. And so you want to learn as much as you can possibly learn."
". . . I'm at the point right now and recognize that I have no experience in public office," he added. "And politics is not my business. So, the best thing I can do is I take my meetings and learn as much as I can, and we shall see."
Politics will not change him, he vows.
"'It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice,' I heard that when I was 15, and I'll never forget it," he told Fox News. "I remember being 15 and thinking 'If I'm ever important one day . . . I'm going to remember to be nice.'"
