你可能会认为他想重返迪斯尼电影《丛林之旅》的主角黑亚当。相反，绰号“巨石”的美国著名影星德韦恩·约翰逊对2020年支持拜登竞选总统表示后悔，说他今年不会再支持任何总统候选人。你可能会认为他想重返迪斯尼电影《丛林之旅》的主角黑亚当。相反，绰号“巨石”的美国著名影星
绰号“巨石”的好莱坞巨星德韦恩·约翰逊
他在周五的福克斯新闻线上采访中告诉威尔·凯恩：“几年前我对拜登的支持，我认为当时对我来说是最好的决定。”他说：“当时我想，我现在所处的地位有一些影响力，我觉得发挥并分享我的影响力支持我觉得应该支持的人是我应做的工作。我不会再这么做了。那时我是世界上粉丝最多的人，今天也是，我对此很感激…但它却造成了让我很伤心的结果--就是分裂。这让我很受伤。我当时没有意识到，我真的感到很不安，我希望冷静下来。”
他继续说：“结果它造成了难以置信的巨大分裂。我现在意识到在今年的选举中，我不会再那样做。我的目标是把这个国家团结起来。我坚信这一信念。将不会再支持谁。在这种影响力的水平上，我将把我的政治立场留给自己。它是我和投票箱之间的事。但我要告诉你这一点：就像我们很多人一样，不要相信任何政客，我确实相信美国人民，不管他们投票给谁，他就是我的总统，我将百分之百地支持他。”
两位2020年的老对手将在今年再次对阵
当被问及他现在对美国的现状是否满意时，约翰逊回答说：“不！"
他补充说：“今天的取消文化，唤醒文化，分裂等等——这真的让我很烦。在这种精神环境中，你要么屈服，成为别人想要的样子，要么你做自己，对自己真诚……这可能会让人不舒服和激怒他们，但没关系。"
约翰逊再次被问及他是否曾计划竞选总统，这位演员回答说：“不，这不是我的本意。我不是一个政治家。"
在2020年总统大选时，约翰逊曾与拜登和卡玛拉·哈里斯坐在一起宣布支持他们，他的信息被拜登竞选团队大肆宣传。
巨石当时说：“作为一名多年来一直有着中间派意识形态的独立选民，我确实觉得副总统拜登和参议员哈里斯是领导我们国家的最佳选择，我支持他们成为我们美国的总统和副总统。进步需要勇气、人性、同理心和力量。”
尽管实际上难以计算名人支持的实际作用，但在拜登竞选团队正努力争取支持以在11月的竞选中再次对阵特朗普时，失去巨石的支持恐怕不是一个好消息。
美国目前最红的歌星成为总统候选人争夺的对象
当巨石宣布这一消息时，许多人正在猜测曾在2020年支持拜登的另一位巨星泰勒·斯威夫特是否会再次支持拜登，但截止目前，她仍未宣布她的支持。
Dwayne Johnson Says He Won’t Endorse Biden Again for President. BY JAMES HIBBERD on The Hollywood Report, APRIL 5, 2024.
You’d think he’d want to walk back Jungle Cruise or Black Adam. Instead, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is expressing some regret about his 2020 endorsement for Joe Biden for president and says he won’t endorse any candidate this year.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he told Will Cain on Fox News in an interview posted online Friday. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that … but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me. I didn’t realize that then, I just felt like there was a lot of unrest and I’d like things to calm down.”
He continued, “The takeaway after that was it caused an incredible amount of division. I realize now going into this election, I will not do that. My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box. But I will tell you this: Like a lot of us out there, not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people and whoever they vote for that is my president and who I will support 100 percent.”
Asked if he was happy with the state of America right now, Johnson replied, “No.”
“Today’s cancel culture, woke culture, division, etcetera — that really bugs me,” he added. “In the spirit of that, you either succumb to that and be what other people want you to be, or you be yourself and be real … and that might make people upset and piss people off, and that’s OK.”
Johnson was also asked once again if he ever plans to run for president and the actor answered, “No, that’s not my intention. I’m not a politician.”
In 2020, Johnson made headlines by sitting down with Biden and Kamala Harris and announcing his endorsement, a message promoted by the Biden campaign.
“As a registered Independent for years now with centrist ideologies, I do feel that Vice President Biden and Senator Harris are the best choice to lead our country, and I am endorsing them to become President, and Vice President, of our United States,” he wrote at the time. “Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS & RESPECT.”
While it’s unclear how much celebrity endorsements actually matter, the loss of The Rock’s endorsement isn’t great news for the Biden team as they ramp up to for a rematch with Donald Trump in November. The announcement comes amid plenty of speculation about whether another massive celebrity will renew their endorsement of Biden — Taylor Swift, who likewise endorsed Biden in 2020, hasn’t yet made an endorsement this year.
