While Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is known for his big heart, the wrestler-turned-Hollywood action star is also famous for his workout regime.

But, could you see him as the president of the United States?

In Johnson’s new autobiographical sitcom, “Young Rock,” the actor shared that running for president in 2032 could be added to his resume.

“I would consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted,” Johnson told USA Today. “Truly I mean that, and I’m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would be up to the people...So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the pulse, my ear to the ground.”

In January, the 48-year-old actor shared a trailer on Instagram for “Young Rock” that allows fans to see the former WWE wrestler in a new way.

“Ladies and gents, here’s your first look at @nbcyoungrock,” the actor and former professional wrestler wrote about the upcoming NBC comedy inspired by and based on his life.

The trailer starts with footage of his action movies strung together. The theatrical voice-over pokes fun of the “full mustache” that Johnson grew out by 15.

The series premieres on February 16. Johnson shared that he couldn’t “wait to make you and your families laugh a little and share the life lessons I’ve learned along the way.”
