Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can smell what Elizabeth Warren is cooking ... and he likes it.

On Friday afternoon, the movie star tweeted this after it was revealed that the Democratic senator from Massachusetts was a big fan of the HBO show Ballers, which is basically Entourage but with sports agents:

In a segment for Full Frontal, Warren sat down with host Samantha Bee, where it was revealed the senator had a huge crush on The Rock--which, I mean, who doesn't.

But stranger was her apparent love of Ballers, a show in which Johnson and Rob Corddry, um, do agent things? Imagine a Lil Wayne video with some SportsCenter clips thrown in.

Corddry even popped up with a cardboard cutout of The Rock to surprise a delighted Warren.

“It’s actually a story about hard work,” Warren said. “It’s a story about perseverance, it’s a story about reaching within yourself for something you’re not 100 percent sure is there."

Looks like someone just locked up the jacked bros vote.
