Dwayne Johnson dominated the 2021 E! People's Choice Awards on Tuesday night.
The 49-year-old wrestler-turned-actor had already been chosen as the recipient of the People's Champion Award, in recognition of his contribution to the entertainment industry and entrepreneurial endeavours, as well as the former WWE star's commitment to supporting children and families in need through various charitable initiatives.
And being the 'People's Champion' that he is, the 'Red Notice' star insisted the "original people's champion" was the late boxing icon Muhammad Ali, and Make-A-Wish recipient Shushana, who he handed the title over to.
Dwayne said: "For those who may know or for those who may not know, the original people's champion was the greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali.
"I first met Muhammad when I was a little boy and he was so cool to me. He was so kind and he was so funny. He was always wonderful to me."
Recalling a conversation with Muhammad's wife, Dwayne continued: "She said, 'He told me to tell you you are the people's champion, you have earned it, you take that title.'
"Years later to be standing here with you guys, you voted me the People's Champion, the irony is not lost on me because I realise that what it means to be the People's Champion is so much bigger than me. You treat people good, you treat people kind. You take care of people. You're inclusive of people, all people, all colours, it doesn't matter.
"The last time I saw Muhammed, we were at a Make-A-Wish event and we were both granting wishes. His last words to me were, 'You keep rumbling.'"
The movie star then surprised People's Choice's Make-A-Wish recipient Shushana by bringing her out on stage at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
Dwayne said: "Being here tonight with us and with you guys, this is her wish.
"She has no idea what I'm doing.
"This is a total surprise. I met her earlier. I told her how proud I was of her story.
"She is a fighter, she has inspired her family and friends. I want to tell you just how much you've inspired me and everyone around you and certainly everyone here. I want to give you this because you represent everything that it means to be a People's Champion — so this is for you."
Shushana said: "First, thank you for this. I didn't expect this at all. But, I mean, thank you to Make-A-Wish in general.
"I just never expected that something this good could happen. This is crazy. I never thought that it could end up in this, survive something."
