UFC commentator Joe Rogan burst into laughter as he listened to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson share an amazing story that happened last year. Johnson recounted an unexpected encounter where the idea of a presidential run was proposed to him. He did not specify which party made the attempt.
Johnson said he was honored to be approached for such a coveted position. He fondly remembered the time when he was wrestling at flea markets. However, that approach also made him dive deep into the thought. This is what Johnson had to say about it.
I started to think again, surreal because that's never been my goal. I appreciate it, and I'm honored because I'm like you in our core. But it made me think, it's either this is an incredible thing, and I've got some pretty decent leadership skills, or things are so f**ked up.The Rock via JRE
Even though Johnson lacked political experience, fans floated the idea of a ‘Rock for President’ campaign on social media. Rogan was also one of them who liked the idea of Johnson running for president. Nevertheless, Johnson emphasized the need for careful consideration and a profound sense of purpose when contemplating jobs that require immense responsibility.

Rogan is a critique of Trump and has even said that he would not have him on his podcast in the past. Interestingly, Rogan and Trump shook hands when the pair met during UFC 290. However, Rogan remains an ardent critique of everything Biden has done during the Presidency.
Rogan was all in for The Rock to be President
Joe Rogan was a big proponent of The Rock for the President of the USA years back. In the podcast episode # 1446 with Bert Kreischer, Rogan clarified his thoughts. Rogan was and still is against both Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the US President.
Rogan was all in when Kreischer suggested an alternative option of Dwayne Johnson. This is what he said about Johnson if he runs for president.
I'd vote for him. 100% I would. I'm all in for the Rock. As good as he is about everything else in life, he'd be great as president.Joe Rogan via JRE.
Not sure our Founding Fathers ever envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club – but if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve the people 🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇸 https://t.co/6Xd9ADzqX7
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 9, 2021However, Rogan did not want the movie star to run for President. Rogan believed that the position came with hatred. The Rock is one of the most popular and beloved personalities in the US.
Rogan believed that if the Rock chose a political party, 40 percent of the American public would automatically hate him. Nevertheless, Johnson is still considered to be the best option for US President by many but it might not happen.
