“I’ve gotten knocked around and gotten my ass kicked in the past but testing positive for COVID-19 is much different than overcoming nasty injuries, or being evicted, or even being broke, which I have been more than a few times,” Johnson explained.

The actor explained that his family contracted the virus from a family friend, even though they were diligent about precautions.
He said: “My No.1 priority is to always protect my family. And protect my children, my loved ones. I wish it was only me who tested positive, but it wasn’t. It was my entire family. So this one is really a kick in the gut.”

It is a fact, and it is the right thing to do. And it’s the responsible thing to do, not only for yourself, but for your family, loved ones, but also for your fellow human beings,” he concluded.
