Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's busy schedule will prevent him from running for President of the United States in the next election, but 2024 remains a possibility.

The wrestler-turned-actor and producer told Variety's Elizabeth Wagmeister he would "100 percent consider" running for office.

"Realistically, as we go into 2018, when you look at my slate as we're developing and shooting into 2019 and 2020, the slate goes deep into 2021, so it feels like the realistic consideration would be 2024," Johnson said.

Johnson has attended both Democratic and Republican conventions in the past, but is registered as an Independent.

"I'm well aware politics is not the business I'm in, so the best thing I can do is continuing to listen and learn as much as I can," he said. "I'm continuing to watch our presidency and watch how every new development is handled. I continue to watch our leaders in government, and like all Americans, I continue to be hopeful that our leaders exhibit poise, perspective and the ability to bring our country together during these tough times - which I don't feel our presidency is currently doing - so that's where I'm at."
