Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is flattered that people want him to be the next US president.
The 45-year-old wrestler-turned-actor admitted in a recent interview that he would consider running for the job in 2020 and people have reacted positively to his comments.
He told chat show host Jimmy Fallon: "The surge and the groundswell since then has really been amazing. I gotta tell you, I'm so incredibly flattered - there's a national poll that just came out this past week ... that brought together Republicans and Democrats in saying that I would beat Donald Trump if we had an election today to become president. I've really been blown away. It's so flattering."
