Despite the fact that many celebrities have publicly criticized Joe Rogan, the podcast host has at least one A-list celebrity on his side. Earlier this week, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson praised Rogan for his apology on Instagram amid the Spotify controversy. “Great stuff here brother,” Johnson said in the comments section of Rogan’s apology post on Instagram. “Perfectly articulated. Look forward to coming on one day and breaking out the tequila with you.”
As the New York Post reported, Rogan and Johnson both consider themselves to be independent of a certain political party, which might explain why Johnson is showing his support for Rogan. In the past few years, Johnson has teased a potential run for the United States presidency. In fact, according to Newsweek, a poll published in April 2021 revealed that 46 percent of Americans would support a presidential run by The Rock in the future. “I’m not a politician so I don’t care what side of the street you live on or what side of the aisle you sit on,” Johnson wrote in an Instagram post in October 2021. “Core values matter. Work hard, take care of your family, be kind to people, take pride in your name, take pride in your own two hands, be inclusive and respect EVERYONE and don’t be full of s***. I’m not a politician, but that’s the truth.” Despite teasing a future presidential run, Johnson has never confirmed whether or not he actually intends to run in 2024.
