Dwayne Johnson has said that there is "a real possibility" that he will one day run for US president.

 

道恩·强森说，未来他“真的可能”竞选美国总统。
 

 

The wrestler-turned-actor, best known for his appearances in the Fast and the Furious franchise¹, made the comments during an interview with GQ in which he also criticised Donald Trump³'s notorious travel ban.

 

Johnson, who has spoken previously⁴ about a possible career in politics, said that he began to consider the prospect⁵ of a presidential run after reading an article in the Washington Post that suggested him as a viable⁶ candidate.

 

"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 truthful⁷ and also respectful.'"

 

Johnson, who did not declare allegiances to either the Democrats⁸ or Republicans, said his campaign would be built on cooperation and inclusion.

 

"(If I didn't agree with someone) on something, I wouldn't shut them out. I would actually include them," he said. "The first thing we'd do is we'd come and sit down and we'd talk about it. I (would) take responsibility for everyone. Especially when you disagree with me. If there's a large number of people disagreeing, there might be something I'm not seeing, so let me see it. Let me understand it."

 

Johnson was reluctant to criticise² Trump, saying that it was "hard to categorise right now how I think he's doing". He did, however, condemn⁹ the administration's attempt to ban entry to the US from several Muslim-majority countries.

 

"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 judgment¹⁰ … 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 scrambling¹¹."
