After parlaying a professional wrestling career as "The Rock" into leading roles in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson is entertaining the idea of jumping into the political ring, including perhaps even a run for the White House someday.

Johnson, 44, who stars in the upcoming Disney animated film "Moana" as the voice of demigod Maui, said the excitement surrounding last week's presidential election had renewed public interest in him running for office.
