Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson got a bit of free publicity for the upcoming season of his HBO original series “Ballers” thanks to self-proclaimed superfan Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

The Democratic lawmaker tweeted a brief except from a recent podcast interview she did in which her devotion to the series was questioned. The interviewer asked what she found appealing about the show as opposed to other HBO originals like “Game of Thrones,” “Barry” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”

“Is it The Rock?”

“Oh yes!” she said, “It is The Rock.”

It didn’t take long before the man himself chimed in to thank Warren for her support of the show, which is about to enter its fourth season.

“I appreciate the love Senator Warren. Enjoy our new season tonight and you have a big Rock sized hug coming when I see ya,” the star tweeted.

It turns out that this isn’t the first time that the duo have exchanged thoughts on the show via social media.

“To all the reporters tweeting at me about the season premiere of @BallersHBO on Sunday night at 10 pm ET like I haven’t had this date saved on my calendar for months: I KNOW,” she previously wrote.

“You reporters better put some respek on Senator Warren’s name - she is READY for our season premiere of @BallersHBO tomorrow night at 10pm on @HBO. Thank you Senator for the support - I feel we’ll deliver our best yet. You have a big Rock sized hug coming when I see u,” the star repeated.

Warren previously revealed that she keeps a signed script of the pilot episode on her desk.

“Happy Birthday to my favorite actor and not-so-secret crush @TheRock!” she tweeted. “I keep this on my desk in Washington to remember to stay ballin’. Sending my love to your beautiful family!”

Johnson previously flirted with the idea of a 2020 presidential run. Meanwhile, many believe that Warren has presidential aspirations as well. Could this be the start of a Warren/Johnson 2020 ticket?
