The relationship between former President Donald Trump and one former professional wrestler is solid as, well a ‘Rock.’

Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said the picture of Trump standing after he was shot in July was exactly what people in the U.S “wanted to see,” Fox News reported.

“Whether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that,” Johnson said at The Value Conference in Florida where he was the keynote speaker last week. “Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that.”

Johnson’s words were in response to a question he was asked about the assassination attempt. Johnson was asked since his relationship with Trump goes back to when he wrestled.

He added Trump was a fan and used to watch in wrestle n New York City.

“He used to come watch me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. First time I saw him, he said ‘let me see the eyebrows,’” Johnson said in reference to a meme regarding his eyebrow.

Earlier this year, Johnson told “Fox & Friends” host Will Cain he will not be endorsing a candidate in this election. In 2020, he endorsed President Joe Biden.

“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” he said.

“Am I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no. I’m not going to do that,” Johnson said. “Because what I realized that what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. And that got me.”

He learned from that and said he would not publicly endorse a candidate again.

“The takeaway after that months and months and months, I started to realize like, ‘Oh man, that caused an incredible amount of, division in our country.’ So I realize now going into this election, I’m not going to do that. I wouldn’t do that because my goal is to bring our country together. I believe in that, in my DNA. So in the spirit of that, there’s going to be no endorsement,” he said.

In the end, he said it is important to keep his opinions to himself.

“Not that I’m afraid of it at all, but it’s just I realize that this level of influence — I’m gonna keep my politics to myself, and I think it’s between me and the ballot box,” he said.
