“Yes, it’s critical to be your most authentic, true self. Be you and be real. But the key thing is recognizing the joy and responsibility you have to bring everyone along with you. And you do that by being kind, compassionate, inclusive and just straight up being good to people. Because make no mistake about it, in this climate of negativity and cynicism ~ being good and caring about people still matters. Everyone’s important to someone or something. And it’s nice to be important ~ but it’s more important to be nice. Love y’all, thank ya for this cool award and see ya down the road,” Johnson wrote.
The actor shared more photos and videos to Instagram from the evening:

He continues to captivate his audience worldwide and we are thrilled to celebrate him with the Generation Award.”
