Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a strong favourite among the Americans and most of them would consider voting for him as President in 2024.

On Saturday, the popular star shared the poll results of a recent survey by the research company "Pipslay" which showcased that that 29 percent would support campaigns by both Johnson for president and actor Matthew McConaughey for Texas governor, with another 17 percent supporting Johnson's run only, reports NME. 

Dwayne Johnson posted the news on his Instagram saying, "I don't think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club — but if it ever happens it'd be my honor to serve you, the people."
