The 51-year-old actor acknowledges that the prevalent “easy cancel-culture” of today’s world bothers him and hinders people from being genuine.
In an interview with Fox News, Johnson voiced his frustration, stating, “Today’s easy cancel-culture world, and cancel culture, woke culture, this culture, that culture, division, et cetera, that really bugs me.”
He emphasised the importance of staying true to oneself despite pressures to conform, saying, “In the spirit of that, you either succumb and be what you think other people want you to be, or you go, ‘Well, no, that’s not who I am. I’m gonna be myself, and I’m gonna be real.'”
Johnson stressed the significance of providing honest responses, even if they may provoke disagreement, adding, “If you ask me something, a real answer is important, and the truthful answer’s important. And that may get people upset.”
Despite polls suggesting he would have significant support if he ran for US president, Johnson has firmly ruled out any such aspirations. He cited his focus on family and personal priorities, stating, “As of now, no, that’s not my intention. I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics. I care deeply about our country.”
While he supported Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election, Johnson has decided against endorsing a candidate for the upcoming election. He believes that publicly supporting a candidate could further divide the country, expressing his trust in the American people to choose their leader.
