Chris Jericho Explains Why The Rock Could Become President

It’s been heavily rumored that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will get into politics, and one of his former rivals thinks he could be successful in that field. Chris Jericho recently spoke to Business Insider about a potential The Rock president run. “Everything the guy does turns to gold ’cause he’s got the work ethic to make it happen,” said Jericho. “Why wouldn’t he want to try politics?”

“I think The Rock, if you look at how he’s built his career, much like Schwarzenegger when he became the Governor of California, when you work to a certain level how much bigger can you get? How much more can you do? We’ve entered an era now having Trump in the office, whether you agree or don’t agree, he got in because of his celebrity. That’s exactly why. He knew how to play a camera. He knew how to deliver lines. He knew how to be charismatic enough to get people on his side and that’s what politics is. Even Obama, as long as you have some money behind you, and can deliver lines charismatically [you have a shot]. I think Rocky has a chance to really get in there and take over if he wants to do that.”

It’s a fun video, and Chris Jericho even jokes about becoming the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of the United States at the same time.
