It started off as a joke, then it became more serious. Now Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson says running for president in 2020 is “a real possibility.”

The pro wrestler and Hollywood mogul made his latest quips to GQ magazine, which published a highly entertaining cover story on the star Wednesday.

Johnson said it was about a year ago, around the time The Post’s Alyssa Rosenberg published an essay explaining why Johnson could be a viable candidate, that the actor began thinking about running for office more seriously.

I'd rather he not. It'll just make him hated by a portion of the country and probably make him become more jaded.

[Whirlin]

I'd vote for Terry Crews before Dwayne Johnson

[SonoftheNorth]

Judging by some of the movies he picks to act in I don't think I want him in charge.

You mean the movies that made him the highest paid actor in the US?

Sounds like he's a successful business man if he an make that much money on his own. That alone makes him qualified, right?

I would have voted for The Rock before Trump :(

[hello]

He's not going to run, celebrities do this shit to promote themselves or a movie or whatever at opportune moments (like when another celebrity is Pres). Being POTUS might sound awesome to us plebs but for someone like this guy it's a step down when calculating based on life goals, comfort, and stress levels.

[Fallen]

He's so ridiculously busy, I think he'd go insane trying to do add even a "fake" run for office into his schedule.

[Parkbandit]

He doesn't want to go up against Kanye anyway...

Exactly my opinion. If Trump can get elected, sheesh, The Rock certainly can. Fuck it. ANYONE can.

All you need is to be facing against a candidate that is under an FBI investigation.

Except Hillary. :)

[Astray]

These actors and celebrities need to fucking stop.

[BigWorm]

Yeah Kanye already called dibs on 2020

[Tgo01]

ANYONE can.

You say this as if it's a bad thing, but isn't it a good thing? We don't have a caste system here, or a system that says you can never be president because <insert reason.>

I'm not saying Trump was my ideal choice, I've been pretty vocal on this since shortly after he threw his hat into the ring. But I don't think it's a "bad" thing that ANYONE can be president.

This is how we end up with President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

Didn't he oversee the largest growth in education of any leader in recent history?

Well... not ANYONE.

Hillary can't.
