Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said that he’s ruled out running for president after not previously ruling out such a bid.
He told CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Tracy Smith that a presidential bid was “off the table.”
“Yes. It is off the table. I will say this because it requires a B-side to this,” he said.
He added, “I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy. And that’s the most important thing to me is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters’ lives. Because I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years in my first daughter’s, growing up in this critical age, at this critical time in their life.”
He said that while being “CEO sounds great,” “the number one thing I want to be is daddy. That’s it.”
In previous interviews, Johnson has entertained the idea of running for office, and even the mere speculation that he would make a White House bid drew some commentary on his chances of appealing across party lines. Although he has never held elective office, Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House has made speculation about other celebrity bids not seem so far fetched.

Zack Sharf Christopher Meloni and former Donald Trump advisor and speechwriter Stephen Miller engaged in a war of words on Twitter that ended with the “Law & Order” favorite telling Miller, “Stick to writing fascist speeches.” It all started when Meloni reacted to Lauren Boebert’s latest “Let’s go Brandon!” post. The phrase is commonly used in Republican circles as an insult to Joe Biden. As the Associated Press reported in 2021, the term is “conservative code for something far more vulgar: ‘Fuck Joe Biden.'” “There’s gotta be a Stupid Prize gop reps are competing for,” Meloni tweeted at Boebert, a Republican gun activist who serves as the U.S. representative for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district. Boebert once wore a dress with “Let’s go Brandon” printed on it and posed with Trump for a photo.

Alan Moore has argued that the dominance of superhero films has caused a rise in fascism.The legendary writer, who is well-known for works such as Watchmen, V For Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke, reflected on the dominance of the likes of Marvel and DC in the cinema world, suggesting that “simpler realities” could be dangerous.“I said round about 2011 that I thought that it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batmanmovies,” he told The Guardian.“Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism,” Moore added, noting how “when we ourselves took a bit of a strange detour in our politics” when Donald Trump was elected, superhero films were very dominant.The writer continued: “Hundreds of thousands of adults [are] lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys – and it was always boys – of 50 years ago. I didn’t really think that superheroes were adult fare.“I think that this was a misunderstanding born of what happened in the 1980s – to which I must put my hand up to a considerable share of the blame, though it was not intentional – when things like Watchmen were first appearing.
