The wrestler turned actor takes to Instagram days after Disney announced the list of honourees including Anne Hathaway, Jonas Brothers among others.

Interestingly, the Moana 2 actor posts a video of himself, celebrating his success and pens a heartfelt caption after receiving the recognition.

“I was really moved when I received the call as that certain voice on the other line said I would be receiving Disney’s highest honour ~ Disney Legends Award,” writes the 53-year-old in the caption.

Dwayne continues that this “honour recognises individuals with significant and global impacts on Disney”.

Expressing gratitude, the Red Notice actor says that he’s “moved” and then wishes a big “THANK YOU”.

The Jungle Cruise actor also tries to “spread and deliver a little joy” for the people around the world.

“Thank you Josh, Alan, Dana, Asad, David, Steve, executive teams, Imagineers, every Disney employee and cast member around the world,” he continues.

Before concluding, Dwayne adds that he’s “looking forward to pull up and showing my gratitude in person at the ceremony” that will be held on August 16 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

As soon as he posted, the Fast & Furious actor garnered lots of love from his fans and followers.

One says, “I am so proud of you for giving your best, overcoming obstacles, and not giving up, even when everything seems difficult.”

Another remarks, “The people's champion, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, and the best actor in Hollywood.”
