Johnson opens up about discrimination and determination

Johnson also talked about how he is "indebted" to America for allowing him to succeed, reflecting on how his determination has paid off over the years. "I love our country to my core and I'm endlessly grateful for the opportunities I've had here," he said, "as a half-Black, half-Samoan kid being able to work my ass off knowing tenacity opens doors."

The star mentioned how he would "run into discrimination" while growing up in the South, which only motivated him to succeed. "I was born with this color and who I am and where I'm from," Johnson said, sharing that he seeks to "control the controllables, put in the work with my own two hands." Time will only tell if Johnson does run for president, but he has the makings of a great candidate!
