Wil Wheaton spoke out against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson after he publicly declared he was 'going to keep my politics to myself.'

'Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. [Laughs.] I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bulls*** that comes with it,' the 54-year-old 'political independent and centrist' told Esquire on June 11.

'The main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling.'

When challenged about why he doesn't condemn President Donald Trump like Bruce Springsteen, Johnson said: 'Then why don't they talk? They should sit down and talk. I don't know where that goes, but I do know that's an important step.'

In a since-deleted Threads post responding to George Takei's 'silence is complicity' post on Monday, Wheaton blasted: 'So disappointing to find out he is such a coward.'

The 53-year-old former child star has never been shy on the subject, previously endorsing Kamala Harris for president in 2024, Joe Biden in 2020 and Bernie Sanders in 2016.

The Smashing Machine actor regretted endorsing Biden in 2020, telling The Will Cain Show in 2024: '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.

'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."'

That same year, Johnson made a phone call to Trump, whom he called 'brave' for surviving the assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Johnson's publicists for comment, but have not heard back yet. 

The third-generation wrestler has been hard at work promoting his role as demigod Maui in Thomas Kail's live-action remake of Moana, which hits US/UK theaters July 10.

Johnson is also set to star in upcoming films from directors Martin Scorsese, Darren Aronofsky, Benny Safdie, Jake Kasdan and J.J. Abrams.

Wheaton will next guest star as a magical version of himself in Chuck Lorre's 10-episode The Big Bang Theory spin-off series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, which premieres July 23 on HBO Max.

The Body narrator previously appeared in 17 episodes of the hit CBS sitcom, starring Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, spanning 2009-2019.

Audiences best know Wheaton for his breakout role, at age 12, as Gordie Lachance in the late Rob Reiner's critically-acclaimed 1986 drama Stand By Me.
