In his speech, the “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” star imparted some life lessons he’s learned on the road to Hollywood stardom.
“When I was 15 years old, I heard a quote and I will never forget, and I bring it with me everywhere I go and it's ingrained in my DNA,” he explained. “The quote is this: 'It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.’ With that, I love you. I thank you. Drink your tequila. I will see you all down the road.”
