Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have some rock-solid support for Dwayne Johnson.
The actor known as The Rock endorsed Biden for president and Harris for vice president in a video shared to social media Sunday, calling the candidates "the best choice to lead our country."
This marks the first time Johnson, who identifies as a political independent and centrist, has shared a presidential endorsement.
"Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, grit, kindness and respect," Johnson wrote in his Instagram post. "Being KIND & RESPECTFUL to one another will always matter."
Johnson, 48, said in the video that he recently spoke with Biden and Harris, who are members of the Democratic Party, and came away impressed with their conversation.
He included parts of their chat, which took place over a video stream, in his post. During their conversation, Johnson asked what Biden and Harris would do to earn the respect of Americans.
"By doing what we say we're going to do," Biden replied. "By keeping our word. By leveling with the American people. By taking responsibility. When we fail, acknowledge it. We're not going to be perfect, but take responsibility. Say 'this is what I'm going to do, this is what I believe,' and tell the truth."
