Dwayne Johnson wants Great British Bake Off gig

Dwayne \'The Rock\' Johnson would like to appear on the celebrity version of \'The Great British Bake Off\'.

The \'Skyscraper\' star has revealed he\'s an unlikely fan of the British baking show and if he didn\'t have a busy filming schedule, he\'d be up for competing on the programme for charity.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "Baking is something I am really fascinated by, mainly because I love to eat the finished product.

"I would do \'Celebrity Bake Off\' if I wasn\'t shooting a movie - especially if it was for charity.

"Hopefully, I\'d do well - but if not I could just kick somebody\'s a**."

The former WWE star revealed last year that he hopes one day he can run his own bakery.

He said at the time: "People ask me if I\'m running for president, or if I will be in The Fast And The Furious 9.

"But I have an ambition nobody knows about. I want my own bakery. "Yeah, that\'s right - The Rock likes to bake."

The \'San Andreas\' actor shares a love of the show with rapper Snoop Dogg, who was no doubt less than impressed when Mary Berry was replaced by Prue Leith when the show moved from the BBC to Channel 4.

Revealing his love of the 83-year-old baking legend, the \'Drop It Like It\'s Hot\' rapper said: "The guy (Paul Hollywood) is cool but it\'s all about my home girl Mary. You know she is the boss.

"You know, I\'ve been known to do a little baking in my time.

"I guess you could say my speciality was brownies - just maybe not the kind Mary Berry is used to."
