Dwayne Johnson for president?
Dwayne Johnson is giving more thought to running for president in 2020, he revealed in a magazine interview recently.
“I think that it’s a real possibility,” the actor said, noting that he started thinking more about running for president following the release of an op-ed piece in The Washington Post that suggested he could win an election based on his likeability and ancestry.
“A year ago, [the idea] started coming up more and more,” the former WWE star said. “There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think, ‘Let me really rethink my answer and make sure I am giving an answer that is truthful and also respectful’.”
Johnson is the latest celebrity that has mentioned they would like to run for president following Oprah Winfrey and Kanye West.
Build-A-Bear for Pokemon fans
Pokemon fans, rejoice: Squirtle is coming to Build-A-Bear to join his friends Pikachu, Charmander and Eevee.
From June 1, the Squirtle plush will be available both online and in stores across the UK. However, different packages are expected depending on how you’re buying.
For instance, if you’re buying the plush online, the package includes a 14 inch plushie of the Pokemon, which will come with a matching sound chip to replicate its iconic cry to make the experience of owning a Pokemon more realistic for fans.
You’ll also get to dress the Pokemon up, as the package includes a raincoat, an Ultra Ball hoodie and a Pokemon card exclusive to Build-A-Bear. The set will cost £46.
Of course, you may prefer to buy the toy in-store, so you can stuff the toy yourself and dress it up there and then. If you do this, though, you won’t be able to include the sound chip or raincoat in your purchase, as these are exclusive to web buys.
