Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently revealed to GQ Magazine that he's considering running for president. And now his "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" co-star Kevin Hart jokes that he plans on running against the wrestler-turned-actor for presidency in 2020.
Since The Rock didn't name him as vice president, Hart told E! News that he wouldn't support him and would run against him. "You know what, because he didn't make me the vice president, no I do not [support him]," said the funnyman. "I'm mad about it. I was shoo-in! The world wanted to see that and he didn't go with me, so I'm not rooting for DJ."
"If Dwayne Johnson runs for president, I will be running for president the same year," Hart added. "And I can announce my VP right now, and it's somebody I love - it's my son!" the 37-year-old actor and comedian said, before jokingly instructing his nine-year-old son Hendrix to nod his head "yes."
Hart's comments come on the heels of The Rock confirming during his "Saturday Night Live" monologue over the weekend that he's planning on running for president and had selected Tom Hanks as his running mate.
"It's funny, a lot of people have been telling me lately that I should run for President of the United States," the muscled actor told Alec Baldwin during the May 20th season finale. "It's very flattering, but tonight I want to put this to rest and just say once and for all: I'm in. Starting tonight, I am running for the President of the United States."
