Johnson cited his desire to be present for his second daughter and acknowledged being on the road and so busy with his first daughter Simone’s upbringing.
While Johnson running for president sounds outlandish, it was a subject that was frequently discussed and was entertained by Johnson to the extent that it was the basis of his NBC series “Young Rock” where Johnson is running in the 2032 election.
Johnson is gearing up for a major promotional tour for the upcoming release of “Black Adam”.
