Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is distancing himself from Hollywood’s culture of political activism, expressing his frustration with the ‘slinging’ and ‘bull—t’ he views as dominating public debate.

Johnson’s Stance on Politics

During a recent interview with Esquire, the 54-year-old actor and professional wrestler explained why he decided to keep his political views private. ‘What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep — need, not want — the main thing the main thing,’ the ‘Moana’ star said. ‘And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It’s art. It’s storytelling. I’ve learned I’m going to keep my politics to myself.’

Johnson continued, ‘There are moments when, ‘Hey, there’s nothing we can’t talk about. If I’m wrong, I’ll tell you I’m wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I’ll share it with you.’ ‘Politics is omnipresent and it’s forever,’ he added. ‘I don’t like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bull—t that comes with it.’

Johnson’s Thoughts on Cancel Culture

Johnson also shared his thoughts on cancel culture, stating that being ‘real’ and honest is more important than worrying about being canceled. ‘You either succumb and be what you think other people want you to be, or you go, ‘No, that’s not who I am. I’m going to be myself and I’m going to be real.’ If you ask me something, a real answer is important, and the truthful answer is important, and that may get people upset and may p— people off. And that’s okay,’ he said.
