Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hasn't closed the door on a future presidential run.

In an interview with Caity Weaver for GQ, the former WWE champion was asked whether he would honestly consider running for president of the United States one day.

"I think that it's a real possibility," he said.

Johnson gave a similar response on "Good Morning America" last summer when asked about a piece the Washington Post ran about the political viability of him running for president, but noted he would only do so if he felt he could take on the responsibility.

Since then, Johnson's given more thought to the idea.

"A year ago, it started coming up more and more," he told Weaver. "There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think, 'Let me really rethink my answer and make sure I am giving an answer that is truthful and also respectful.' I didn't want to be flippant - 'We'll have three days off for a weekend! No taxes!'"
