Almost half of Americans want to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson run for president.
According to a new poll, 46 percent of respondents would be okay with the star campaigning for the White House, while fewer people want to see Matthew McConaughey run for Texas governor, about 41 percent.
Twenty-nine percent said they want to see both stars run for office, while 17 percent said they’d like to see only the Rock in the White House and 12 percent supported McConaughey for governor of Texas.
The online survey by Piplsay was conducted earlier this month and got responses from 30,138 people aged 18 and older.

Police in Southern California have been getting well acquainted with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
According to The Telegraph, cops have been called to their Montecito estate nine times in nine months. That’s how long they’ve lived in the home, which they bought last July.
The calls ranged from phone requests, alarm activations and property crimes. For instance on Christmas Eve, police were called after a man allegedly trespassed on the property.
During their sit-down with Oprah, Harry and Meghan talked about their security concerns and Markle revealed that she had pleaded with the royal family not to take away their personal protection.
Their protection was withdrawn after they stepped down from their royal duties last year.
