Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may have his sights set on the Oval Office.
A new poll found that 46% of US adults would support a presidential run from Dwayne Johnson, who's previously teased fans with a potential 2020 bid.
The poll, which surveyed more than 30,000 adults, found 29% supported a campaign from both Johnson and actor Matthew McConaughey. Another 17% approved the former WWE champion making a solo bid.
On Saturday, Johnson shared the poll to his Instagram account and said the results were '"humbling."
"I don't think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club – but if it ever happens it'd be my honor to serve you, the people," he added.
Some fellow celebrities, including rapper Big Sean and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, dropped into the comments to voice their support.
Johnson, who originally had dreams of becoming a CIA operative, told British GQ in 2016 that he hadn't ruled out a career in politics.
"I'm not being coy when I say that, but at the moment I am not sure. I can't deny that the thought of being governor, the thought of being president, is alluring. And beyond that, it would be an opportunity to make a real impact on people's lives on a global scale," Johnson said.
In February, he doubled down on his remarks, saying he'd "consider a presidential run in the future if that's what the people wanted."
And he's already been championed by his WWE friend, The Undertaker, who said Johnson could be "the uniter that people are looking for."
While Johnson has fielded questions about a presidential bid over the years, other celebrities and world figures have also expressed interest in politics.
Matthew McConaughey said in March that running for governor of Texas was a "true consideration."
In September, a source told Vanity Fair that Meghan Markle, who recently made waves with her and Prince Harry's bombshell interview, may have considered running for president.
"One of the reasons she was so keen not to give up her American citizenship was so she had the option to go into politics," royal correspondent Katie Nicholl wrote. "I think if Meghan and Harry ever gave up their titles, she would seriously consider running for president." '
