Personal Life

• Born into a professional wrestling family in 1972 in California. Johnson grew up poor and racked up numerous arrests for fighting and petty theft while still a minor. In high school began playing football and soon received a full scholarship from the University of Miami where had a tremendous success as a football player. An injury ended his college football career, so he entered the ring with the World Wrestling Federation. Later Johnson decided to exchange his wrestling fame for a film career, making his first appearance as an actor in the movie The Mummy.

If it is a very real, overwhelming, positive, strong ‘We want you to run for president’, and he felt that he can step up to the place and become a tremendous leader for the country, and make a real difference and make change, he would do it.”

• But even in this situation Johnson finds a place for his famous brand of humor and tweets that if he ran for office and won the selection the White House better have a spot for his pickup truck.

• Also according to GQ a lot of people reacted for the idea of Johnson becoming a president very positively and among them there were some influential men like:

• Ron Meyer, the NBCUniversal vice chairman, who stated that ‘’If becoming the president is something Johnson focused on, he probably would accomplish it. There's nothing that ‘The Rock couldn't do.” And if Johnson really did run for president, Meyer added would vote for him without a question.

• Another man is Beau Flynn, the producer, who is even more optimistic about Johnson's chances for victory. He said, that Johnson would win without doubt.  Johnson level of commitment and his care for people would translate immediately. He truly loves the world.
