“But even with all that, the thing that really stands out the most? He’s kind, kindness is a choice. He is impossible not to like and he can sure put down a lot of pancakes,” Bezos said while introducing the actor. Prior to giving his acceptance speech for the “People’s Champion” award, the former WWE fighter was introduced by friend and surprise presenter Jeff Bezos with a heartfelt message with why Johnson deserved this title. The 49-year-old actor took home three PCAs during the event, including “Male Movie Star of 2021,” “Comedy Movie Star of 2021,” and one of the highest honors, the “People’s Champion” Award.

Here’s a look at the trailer.Even though Dwayne “The Rock ” Johnson won big at the 2021 People’s Choice Awardslast night (December 7), he still found time to give back to the community. It features interviews from Nas, T.I., Mike Tyson, Jim Brown, David Banner, daughter Laila Ali and more. The film will examine Ali’s impact as a charismatic sportsman and an advocate for the people. The People’s Champ is directed by Coodie & Chike, founders of Creative + Control and the filmmakers behind music videos for Kanye West, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Erykah Badu and more. Now, he is the subject of a new documentary that airs tonight at 10pm EST on BET. While he was a fighter by nature, he refused to do so for causes in which he did not believe.

He was a civil rights leader who stood side by side with Malcolm X in the turbulent 60s, and was stripped of his livelihood for 3 years, during his prime, as he civilly disobeyed a draft order mandating he fight in the Vietnam war. While there are arguably those who have been gifted with more technical expertise and more raw ferocity, it is what Ali did outside of the ring that cemented his legacy among the world’s biggest icons. To many, he is the greatest athlete in history. Muhammad Ali was not only considered to be the greatest boxer of all-time.
