Recently, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson made headlines by sharing that he is considering to run for President in year 2020 and now he has created more hype to the possibility by appearing on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'.
The 45-year-old-actor, while talking on the same with host Jimmy Fallon said he is amazed by "surge" and the "groundswell" of attention he has got after mentioning he would consider running in a GQ interview.
The 'Fate of the Furious' star got really shocked when he saw a national poll that said he would beat President Donald Trump in an election held today.
Johnson shared, "I've really been blown away. It's so flattering. I think it's because, you know, a lot of people want to see a different leadership today, I'm sorry, not a different, but a better leadership today."
He added, "I have become a person that many people can relate to. I get up early in the morning at a ridiculous hour, I go to work, and spend time with the troops, I take care of my family, I love taking care of people. I think that kind of thing really resonates with people, especially today."
But, whether the actor will run for Presidential elections in 2020, he just said that he is not ruling anything out.
He said, "Three-and-a-half years is a long ways away, so we'll see."
For Dwayne, the year 2017 started on a very good note as his movie 'Fate of the Furious' grossed over 1.197 billion USD at the global box-office.
On a related note, Dwayne Johnson will be next seen in Seth Gordon's 'Baywatch,' alongside Zac Efron and Priyanka Chopra.
The movie is slated to release on May 25 in the US.
