Dwayne Johnson is facing criticism after his recent remark on politics during his interview with Esquire Magazine. On June 11, the publication released their interview with the Jumanji actor, where he said that he will no longer speak on politics.While talking to Esquire, Dwayne Johnson said that he will be keeping his politics to himself. He said:“What I have learned through experience,” he says, “is that I need to keep—need, not want—the main thing the main thing. And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It’s art. It’s storytelling. I’ve learned I’m going to keep my politics to myself.”He went on to say that he even hates politics sometimes.“Politics is omnipresent and it’s forever. I don’t like it. [Laughs.] I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it. Because when I hear you talk about Springsteen, who I love, and this idea that he’s speaking directly to Trump in his concerts, my first thought as you were telling me that, in my head, I went, Oh, then why don’t they talk? They should sit down and talk.” Dwayne said.Wil Wheaton called out Dwayne Johnson for his remark on politicsA few days after Dwayne Johnson’s comment, The Big Bang Theory actor Wil Wheaton slammed him and dubbed him as a ‘coward.’ Wil commented:“So disappointing to find out he is such a coward”George Takei, known for his role in Star Trek, criticized The Rock’s stance on politics.
