On Tuesday, the 1st of October, Tyler Perry was honoured with the 2,675th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 7024 Hollywood Blvd.
Actors Kerry Washington and Idris Elba introduced Perry, who has worked with each of them as a director. Perry made his Hollywood debut in 2005’s Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which introduced his stage character Madea to movies.
On getting to the stage, he said that this major achievement is meant to serve as a source of motivation for those “whose dreams may be on life support.”
