“This is our small way of saying thank you and letting you know how grateful we are for all of your work as you guys continue to take care of our loved ones, our family and our friends,” he continued.

The actor also encouraged his fans to keep following protocol in order to stop the spread of the disease, saying: “We, at our end will continue to be disciplined – wearing masks, being smart, social distancing etc,” he wrote in the post’s caption, “We must do our job as you all continue to do yours.”

During lockdown, Johnson also showed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement, sharing a video in June calling out Donald Trump for his failures as a leader in the wake of George Floyd‘s death.
