Dwayne Johnson, famously known as The Rock, has been quite successful in everything that he’s decided to do. He has been a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar for eight years before decidtion to pursue a career in acting.
He has also become a producer, has written an autobiography, has entered the apparel business, and even started a YouTube channel. But what fans have been anticipating the most is his political career that he first showed interest in way back in 2016.
Dwayne Johnson for President?
On the Washington Post’s article, The Rock mentioned that he’s been thinking of entering politics, but he was still undecided at that time because there is still a lot of other stuff that he wants to accomplish first.
And honestly speaking, he has great potential given his worldwide popularity and his charitable acts.
Fans also expressed their support for the actor in several social media platforms, and on his recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the thought of President Dwayne Johnson has once again sparked when he shared his opinion regarding the issue of building a giant telescope on the mountain of Mauna Kea.
The Rock’s Samoan Roots
Locals consider the volcano sacred, and with the Samoan blood running in his veins, The Rock joined a rally against the massive telescope project. He studied high school in Hawaii and has been very proud of his roots.
They conducted a festive ceremony on the mountain as they danced and sang chants, symbolizing their campaign to protect the holy land.
His guest appearance on Fallon’s show was actually to promote his recent film, Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. But when the talk show host presented the question about the issue in Hawaii, The Rock openly expressed his thoughts and defended the native Hawaiians’ feelings regarding that matter.
Humanity Comes First
He explained that building the telescope on what the native people consider as their church is violating their human rights. It wasn’t just a simple issue about the land, but rather, it concerns more about the emotional impact on the locals and their sacred culture.
He begged the team behind the telescope project to be more considerate, act like a human being, and empathize. He also added that above all the important things in this world, taking care of each other should always be the priority.
The Rock didn’t make a statement about any political interest during the interview, but it fired up the people’s hope of seeing him run for the presidential candidacy. Several comments on YouTube have once again started a thread wishing the wrestler to pursue a career in politics.
