Dwayne Johnson is facing criticism from some Hollywood figures after reaffirming that he plans to keep his political views private. In a recent interview, Johnson said he's tired of the negativity surrounding politics and wants to focus on storytelling rather than public endorsements. His comments prompted criticism from actors George Takei, who said "silence is complicity," and Wil Wheaton, who called Johnson a "coward" in a since-deleted post. Others, including comedian Matt Rife, defended Johnson's decision. Johnson has said he regrets the division caused by his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden and believes keeping his politics private is the best way to help bring people together.
