American actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, once the “S(exiest) Man Alive,” is now the most followed man in America on Instagram after accumulating over 200 Million followers. He has celebrated this achievement in style with this video.

The pro wrestler-turned-box office superstar has surpassed 200 million followers on Instagram. Making the official announcement, the chiseled action star took to Instagram on Thursday, decked out in fine threads and accompanied by an ice-cold bottle of his recently launched Teremana Tequila.

“What a past few weeks this has been,” he said in the four-minute clip. “I wanted to share with you guys the life lessons that I have learned these past couple of weeks and, if you guys see fit, you can take this life lesson that I’ve learned and you can apply it to your life, again, where you see fit and where you think it might find value,” he said.

Johnson thanked his followers for giving him the space to speak his truth in the caption. “And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I’ve surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms,” he wrote.

According to the “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” star, that makes him the most followed man in America, and the most followed American man in the world.

“And most importantly,” he wrote, “the #1 daddy at home.”

While 200 million followers is quite impressive, the 48-year-old California native got a ways to go before he matches the most-followed man on the planet; Portuguese soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who has amassed 239 million followers.

But that’s cool. In August, Forbes' magazine named Johnson the highest paid actor in the world — for the second year in a row.
