Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Just Hit A Major Instagram Milestone
He’s already the highest-paid celebrity on Instagram, and now, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has reached another major milestone on the social network, surpassing 200 million followers to clinch the title of the most-followed man in America — and the third most-followed celebrity in the world, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Ariana Grande.
Naturally, the Jumanji star took to Instagram yesterday to commemorate the occasion, posting a video of himself taking a celebratory shot of tequila (his very own Teremana, in case you were wondering), looking dapper in a tuxedo shirt and bow-tie. In the heartfelt, four-minute clip, Johnson also humbly thanked his fans and shared an important life lesson.
“Always speak your truth, and do your best to speak your truth with compassion, with a little bit of poise, with a little bit of dignity, with respect and with empathy. Even when speaking your truth means you’re going to dive into some conversations that might make people a little uncomfortable,” Johnson declared. “If you have confidence in speaking your truth and you come to the table… with kindness, concern, respect and consideration, then I’m confident that on the other side of us having an uncomfortable conversation, on the other side of it is going to be clarity… and more importantly than the clarity, we’re going to have progress.”
