Over the past couple of decades or so we've seen celebrities dip their toe into politics, with varying degrees of "success," so chances are if you're one of the most popular stars in the world, people will want you to run for office.

Paging Matthew McConaughey.


Well one celebrity who falls into that category is Dwayne Johnson.  He's the world's most beautiful man, the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, and one of the most well-known and popular people on the planet.  So why not politics, Dwayne?

In a chat with Tracy Smith of CBS Sunday Morningthough Johnson has flirted with the idea, he says right now it "isn't happening," because he has a much more important role in his life currently: Dad.

Johnson explained that being a father to his three children, Simone Johnson, 21, Jasmine Johnson, 6, and Tiana Johnson, 4, will always he his "No. 1."

He told Smith, "Especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters' lives. Because I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years for my first daughter's growing up, [at] this critical age at this critical time in her life. And that's what the presidency will do. So my No. 1 priority is my daughters. Sure, CEO sounds great, but the No. 1 thing I want to be is daddy. That's it."
