Also of his volunteering with Oprah in Hawaii with the huge fire. Weird seeing humans that have exorbitant amount of money that can actually help, and they're just passing out water bottles to the people that lost their homes saying that "they wish they could do more to help/hope things work out for them." It was a publicity stunt at the expense of people who lost everything.

Why the rock?

I believe he refused to endorse Kamala and then like a true coward said he was keeping his political views private, its was pretty sad. The pathetic coward was terrified of a maga boycott of his garbage movies.

Look up his interview he did on Fox News last year. He basically blamed black people for there current situation in themselves and also said that Biden was a terrible president and he didn’t outright endorse Trump but he danced around it.

Awww maaaaaannnn..... Tsk really? That sucks.

Edit, from Wikipedia:

As part of WWE's non-partisan "Smackdown Your Vote" campaign aiming to encourage young people to vote,[405] Johnson had a speaking role at the 2000 Republican National Convention[406] and attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention less than two weeks later.[407]

Johnson voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012,[276] but did not vote in 2016,[408] and was an independent voter as of 2017.[409] He endorsed Joe Biden in 2020,[410] but told Fox News in an April 2024 interview that he regretted the decision due to it causing "division" and refused to endorse anyone in 2024.[411]

Imo not good, but definitely nuanced and probably not great. I didn't see the interview though so I don't know.

Gotta protect the brand.

He's trying to stay independent because he fantasizes about running for president one day. He even did a TV show where the framing device was him being interviewed as a presidential candidate, so they could show his life in flashbacks. It was an obvious ploy to position him as a legitimate political candidate in viewers' minds.

Every rich and/or famous person now thinks they should be president.

hes also a very difficult actor to work with in the industry, hes known as the "ellen degeneres" of male actors. must have as much if not more attention as the lead in a movie, or as much action or more action than other people. also hes pretty much attention seeker, and people compared him to dave bautista, dave is actor, and he only wanted the glory of a movie star.
