Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson May Quit Acting For A Surprising New Job

<div><p>Donald Trump's presidential victory may be controversial but it has without a doubt turned politics into "pop culture news." It seems like now more than ever, people are very interested in the government's affairs. </p><p>While some people like to keep their political opinions on the low, others are more inclined to broadcast theirs for everyone to hear. </p><p>More recently, actor and former wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson sat down for an interview with <a href="http://www.gq.com/story/dwayne-johnson-for-president-cover">GQ</a> and shared his two-cents about U.S politics and the Trump administration. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/The-Rock-Cover.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/The-Rock-Cover_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/The-Rock-Cover_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/The-Rock-Cover_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The <em>Moana</em> star is registered as an Independent and did not reveal which party he sides with but he certainly wasn't shy about criticizing the recent travel ban. </p><p>"I completely disagree with it," Johnson said. "I believe in our national security to the core, but I don't believe in a "˜ban' that bans immigrants. I believe in inclusion. Our country was built on that, and it continues to be made strong by that. And the decision felt like a snap judgment ... Within 24 hours, we saw a "˜tail effect'. It grew to heartache, it grew to a great deal of pain, it grew to a great deal of confusion, and it had a lot of people scrambling."</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Johnson also made a surprising admission about the possibility of switching careers, from acting to politics. He told the magazine that there is a "real possibility" that he will run for office in the 2020 presidential elections.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/Dwayne-Johnson.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/Dwayne-Johnson_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Newsline</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>"A year ago it started coming up more and more," he said. "There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think, "˜Let me really rethink my answer and make sure I am giving an answer that is truthful and also respectful.'"</p><p>He doesn't really have a plan laid out just yet because he doesn't "want to be flippant" and make bad decisions but we're confident he'll figure that out closer to 2020. </p><p>Johnson has dabbled in politics in the past and even made appearances at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions in 2000 to encourage young voters to participate. </p><p></p><p><strong>What do you think of The Rock running for president?
