The Rock, who endorsed Biden in the 2020 election, went on to say he thought supporting the Democrats candidate was the best decision four years ago, but he doesn’t feel like that anymore.  

Speaking on if he would be endorsing the president again, The Rock said: “Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no. I realise now going into this election, I will not do that.

“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer’s no. Do I believe we’re gonna get better? I believe in that – I’m an optimistic guy. And I believe we can do better.

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time. I thought back then, when we talked about, ‘Hey, you know, I’m in this position where I have some influence,’ and it was my job then to exercise my influence and share who I’m going to endorse.”

Johnson, who said his “goal is to bring this country together,” was quick to add that he would keep his politics to himself.

“It is between me and the ballot box, like a lot of us out there, not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people and whoever they vote for, that is my president and who I will support 100 per cent,” he said.

Back in September 2020, the wrestler turned thespian endorsed Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris.
