It's a 'real possibility' that The Rock will run for president

Los Angeles — After conquering Hollywood, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may have his sights set on the White House.

The actor and former pro wrestler is the cover star of GQ magazine's "once a year iconic comedy issue."

Aside from showing off his hard earned muscles on and inside the magazine, The Rock also tells GQ that a presidential run is "a real possibility."

The Baywatch actor says if he were president, leadership would be a top priority.

While the 45-year-old didn't reveal much about his political leanings, he did say he's not in favour of President Donald Trump's proposed travel ban because he believes "in inclusion."

Johnson declined to endorse anyone in the presidential race last year even though he says both campaigns approached him. Johnson explains that he didn't want to sway anyone's opinion or make people unhappy with his politics.

Johnson would have at least one high-profile backer in NBCUniversal vice chairman Ron Meyer, who tells GQ he'd vote for Johnson "without a question."
