1. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Testament of Staying True to Yourself

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson became emotional when it was his turn to speak after accepting the Generation Award. His journey from a pro wrestler to a Hollywood sweetheart was not one without bumps in the road, and he decided to leave his fans with some advice that he had learned to be true along the way. He urged the audience to always be themselves and not to conform to society’s desires. The Rock recalled being criticized on for his weight and overall fitness when he first entered Hollywood, but he stayed true to himself. And it turns out The Rock was right; being himself worked out pretty well. “I wasn’t gonna conform to Hollywood,” he said. “Hollywood was gonna conform to me.”
