In the wake of Donald Trump's election win, "anything can happen," according to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The Hollywood mega-star said that to Vanity Fair about his own political prospects while promoting his new Disney movie "Moana" on Sunday.
When asked if he would consider running for president in 2020, the 44-year-old actor said, "I wouldn't rule it out."
"It would be a great opportunity to help people, so it's possible," Johnson said. "This past election shows that anything can happen."
The former WWE star has wrestled with the idea of making a political bid in the past. In March, he tweeted that he would "maybe one day" run for president. In June, he wrote on Instagram that "the idea of one day becoming President to create real positive impact and global change is very alluring."

I am predicting today, November 15, 2016, that in 2020
the Democrat Nominee will be Ben Affleck.
To: Vendome
Since he is registered as R, he would have to primary against Trump. That ain’t happening.
He’s young. Run for lower office and let’s see the results.

Perhaps I really am old. My first thought was “Rock Hudson is still alive?”
To: SeekAndFind
Hmmm, given the pajama boys and girl men on the demo side, I don’t think that’s such a bad idea.
To: Vendome
lol. I love Vin but he is tiny next to the Rock

We’ve already had at least one ex-pro wrestler achieve public office. As I recall, it didn’t turn out so well.
(However, there are several Congress-people I would LOVE to see him give “The People’s Elbow” to.)
