Glenn Jacobs, formerly known as Kane in WWE, has explained why he thinks Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson should stay out of politics.
The Rock – also known as Dwayne Johnson – has long been one of the world’s biggest celebrities. In addition to what he has accomplished in Hollywood, he is also recognized as one of the most iconic professional wrestlers of all time.
Recently, The Rock has been linked to making a move into the political world, and when we say recently, we mean for quite a few years. He has teased the idea in the past, largely due to his overwhelming popularity, which many celebrities have used in the past to make waves in the political world, whether as a Democrat or a Republican.
A perfect example of this is Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, who had the following to say about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson possibly making his way into politics.
Glenn ‘Kane’ Jacobs’ warning to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
“If I were him, I wouldn’t do it,” Jacobs said. “Politics is incredibly controversial and toxic right now. Everyone loves Dwayne, no matter where you are on the political spectrum, because he’s a great entertainer and just a good guy.
“You have to remember, whatever you say in politics, 50% of people will reflexively disagree with you, and you will really turn some people off. Obviously I’ve had to deal with that. If I were him, I would personally advise him not to do that.”
“And he can still have an impact, obviously you see people doing great work through philanthropy, but also involved behind the scenes in politics,” Jacobs said. “And that can be just as important as what’s happening in the public eye.
“So I would advise him not to do that because it’s not one of those things where you can go in and he’s really famous and everyone is going to like him. No, what’s going to happen is you’re going to immediately alienate 50% of your fan base, which can be an uncomfortable place to be.”
