The Guardian reports that Rock, who is one of the highest-paid and most popular actors in the United States, has been flirting with the idea of running for the top seat for several years.

“I do have that goal to unite our country and I also feel that if this is what the people want, then I will do that,” Johnson was quoted saying when asked about a possible White House bid.

Rikishi backs The Rock for the US presidency

Rikishi has now come out to declare his support for his fellow wrestler, admitting he would vote for him if he threw his hat in the ring.

Rikishi, whose real name is Solofa Fatu noted that he would not hesitate to back Rock's bid should he seek the high office.

“I’m voting for him," Rikishi, a real-life cousin of The Rock told Brandon Robinson of Bally Sports.

“I don’t know about being the Vice President… [laughs] I’ll be voting for him though because I’m not the political cat; I’m just the cat who supports the people," he added.

If The Rock vies for the presidency, he would join a long list of American celebrities who have run for political office.

The celebrities include Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger who was elected California governor and former wrestler Jesse Ventura who became the governor of Minnesota.
