Tyler Perry Receives His Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

The Diary of A Mad Black Woman screenplay writer and actor shows off his amazing smile as he receives his star.

Tyler Perry is one of the most influential entertainers within the black community, so it’s with great honor and excitement that we celebrate his achievement of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Tyler Perry had a rough childhood and often spoke about the struggles he faced with an abusive father and an unstable environment. Perry’s story is admirable and encouraging to those who have passions and dreams but don’t believe they can rise above their hurt and trauma to overcome and persevere. The New Orleans native gives glory and praise to his mother, who passed away in 2009. His mother played a huge part in his success, and luckily she got to witness parts of it before she passed. For that, Perry is at peace, knowing that his mom knew he would be okay. Tyler Perry is now an actor, playwright, filmmaker, and comedian who is acknowledged by Forbes as the highest-paid man in entertainment.

Perry turned 50 this last month and is already receiving an overflow of blessings in his new chapter as he receives his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. While receiving this spectacular achievement, Kerry Washington and Idris Elba presented a powerful and moving speech during his ceremony.

Ok, let me explain this photo. So I got a star today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thank you chamber!! I’m so grateful, but onto this photo. @only1crystalfox spoke and moved me. @kerrywashington spoke, and we both were in tears. Then @idriselba came up to speak, and they all were so powerful. I was so moved. To look out and see all the cast from all the shows that I have created made my heart so full. To be able to give opportunities to so many was just so humbling to me. Anyway, the photogs were asking for photos so at that moment the BEAUTIFUL KERRY WASHINGTON was leaving, and they all started snapping pictures of her!! Look at my face. We had such a good laugh about this. Thank you everyone for your support and love all these years. My Mamma would be so proud.
