The 'Jumanji' actor, one of the highest paid in
Hollywood, struggled to get through his speech with fans
chanting "Rocky", a reference to his wrestling moniker.
Johnson, 45, recognized those who helped him in his career,
including girlfriend Lauren Hashian, who is pregnant with their
second child.
"You don't have success alone. You don't do it alone," he said.
"It takes a team so I'm so grateful right now to recognize a few
people in my life and it is just a few and they are here who
without them there would be no me."
After thanking the crowd, he recounted his favorite quote that
he first discovered as a 15-year old - "It's nice to be
important but it's more important to be nice."
Johnson's star, the 2,624th to be awarded, is next to the stars
of World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon and muppet
Kermit the Frog.
