and Robert uh two icons of the industry two of my heroes um having not just been able to to meet them in person but to spend time with them to work with them was an absolute honor and I learned so much from both of you the sense of uh humility and encouragement they both gave me what I learned about discipline and respect and enjoying yourself on the set and including everyone who's part of the process and understanding that it's a team effort um that's uh something I'll never forget and and know I'm eternally grateful guys
thank you so much uh thank you very much to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Walk of Fame selection committee for this honor this is uh it did did the dream come true it's it's kind of amazing and hard to articulate um to war Brothers Pam ABY Mike delcer Josh Goldstein the entire Warner Brothers publicity and marketing team we've just been on the furiosa Press tour for the last three weeks and it's been incredible um and again George speaks to this a lot but the the the team effort the collective Spirit that's involved is
uh Second To None and I'm honored to be a part of the group and the team at Warner Brothers and uh yeah I'm thank you and and the furiosa team an your Taylor Joy obviously George Miller Doug Mitchell the entire casting crew who made that film it was an incredible experience so thank you guys and thanks for being here today um I like like many actors on my way to an audition would drive through this section here in Hollywood Boulevard and and see the Billboards of films that I wished I was a part of or
films that were inspiring me the stars on the sidewalk here and and sort of ask myself or wonder wow you know one day or what if or what would that be like and what would that represent how would I how would I feel when that when that happened if if ever I was to make it anywhere close to it and again it's there kind of a dream state sort of quality to it I I feel like uh I'm about to wake up in in some way and it's just not real at all um it's all
something I've imagined but to be here in reality I I feel a wonderful profound sense of gratitude that's that's a feeling I I keep coming back to because I'm well aware of the many many people that have been involved in this journey um the many many people my family my friends my team who have encouraged me have en kept kept me uh passionate kept me on the right track picked me up when I fell um but been there as as people of support and that support network and I share this with with with all of
them from Kevin FY and the team at Marvel who really sort of launched my career I I I am indebted to you guys and you Kevin forever as uh the cinema audience that that has been encapsulated by the films you've presented all of them and so to be a part of that is is is a dream um I have my agent Brian Lord my publicist Robin B my entire team at CA my lawyers all my family friends you know a lot of these guys here um I i' slept on various couches I borrowed money from
I still owe money to a few of them um guys I went to school with that I'm still working with uh Luke zaky Aaron Grist Luca mato um Evan you know and one of my my oldest friends Josh McDonald who's here today who I uh when I was probably we went to primary school together and when we were 6 years old right up until when we were the end of high school 18 we would be reciting movies and lines from movies and uh and doing it just for the pure passion and joy of it and
and not knowing or thinking I was going to be an actor one day but just because we love storytelling we love to be a part of that process and we'd have little tape recorders and we'd we'd play the the background music and soundtracks the different things and just this morning Josh was in my in my room and quoting movies and going do you know this one do you know this one and so to be here now and to have this dream be reality to be a much larger kid than I was then but still be
doing the same thing which is living out my my passion and my dream uh is again hard to put into words it it it it has a very surreal quality to it um but again I'm I'm beyond grateful for it I think a lot of the the reason that I I believed in myself doing this was the belief that my friends and family had for me and and specifically my parents who who raised me with the belief that if you you choose something you're passionate about if you lean into that thing that you love with
your heart and soul then the purpose and the meaning is laid out in front of you and to give things value by committing to it and we don't say rising into love we say falling into love so fall into it there's a leap of faith that occurs and there's a risk in that but if you have people around you to catch you and support you then it's a far easier risk to take and and uh and I'm so thankful for my parents encouragement along the way um and and the confidence they gave myself and my
brothers to pursue something that we were passionate about that ignited Curiosity and creativity and uh and just to keep keep your head down and keep pushing forward so thank you guys I want to say thank you to my beautiful wife who has been here for my entire career basically by my side um endlessly encouraging and supportive and and it doesn't get lost upon me that she put aside her own dreams in order to support mine and um I'm again forever in your debt and and the fact that nothing did I do any of these moments
the special occasions all these events none of it as special without you by my side and uh and I love you and then my kids who my kids are uh endlessly inspiring for so many reasons uh they're an abundance of of of joy and passion they inspire me to increase my V2 Max and my strength and conditioning just to Wrangle them and keep up with them but their ability to live in the moment and to dive into life head first and to have fun and be joyous and playful is is a constant reminder that that's
what life's about and it's a constant inspiration so I love you guys and lastly uh to to to the fans to the audience to you guys who who who show up and and buy the tickets and and allow all of us in this space to continue to live out this crazy dream and you've made it a reality I again I wouldn't be here without you all I love you so much thank you for the support love you all cheers visit our site English speak channel.com for exclusive access to video transcripts offline audio English lessons and
