Donald Trump's unprecedented win in the 2016 presidential election has opened the floodgates of speculation about other notable people with no political experience who may consider a run for the Oval Office in 2020.
Some celebrities have even themselves suggested that they'll run for president — like Kanye West and Chris Rock — though possibly as well-timed one-liners made in reaction to Trump's ascendence.
But for someone like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who has expressed a genuine interest in policy change, a successful run for the presidency seems much more feasible in the wake of Trump.
Here are 8 celebrities who might run for president in 2020:

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
The Hollywood star and former WWE wrestler has repeatedly hinted at making a presidential run in 2020. Most recently, he told Vanity Fair, "I wouldn't rule it out," when asked if he would make a bid for the highest office.
The Rock is a registered Republican voter. If he were to run as a Republican candidate against Trump in 2020, the odds are not in his favor, as no primary challenger has ever defeated an incumbent president of the same party.

Comedian Chris Rock took to Twitter after Trump's win last week to announce, "I'm gonna run in 2020 wish me luck." The post included a Photoshopped version of the movie poster for his 2003 film "Head of State," in which Rock played the first African-American president.
Kanye West
While speaking at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards last August, West concluded his 13-minute monologue by saying, "And yes, as you probably could’ve guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
In a recent interview with the BBC, the 39-year-old rapper seemed to double down on his bid for the presidency.
"When I talk about the idea of being president, I’m not saying I have any political views," West said. "I just have a view on humanity, on people, on the truth. If there is anything that I can do with my time to somehow make a difference while I'm still alive, I'm all for it."
