Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz lead stars honouring US singer Lenny Kravitz
Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz were among the A-list stars celebrating her father Lenny Kravitz as he was honoured at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The couple attended the ceremony to honour four-time Grammy winner Lenny alongside Oscar winning actor Denzel Washington, TV veteran Marla Gibbs, Earth, Wind & Fire star Verdine White and Austrian-born celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.
Magic Mike actor Tatum and The Batman star Zoe appeared to publicly debut their engagement as she poised her left hand on top of Tatumās knee and flashed her diamond ring throughout the Los Angeles ceremony.
āBeing your daughter has been one of the great adventures of my life,ā Zoe said of her father, who received a star in the category of recording.
āSince you were so young when I was born, in many ways we have grown up together, weāve been through a lot, weāve seen a lot. Iāve seen a lot.
āIāve seen you change in the most beautiful ways, Iāve seen you stay the same in the most important ways, Iāve seen you show up and take care of the people you love, Iāve seen your incredible dedication to your art ā but mostly, Iāve seen through your shirts,ā the 35-year-old joked.
āAccording to my dad, if it doesnāt expose your nipples, itās not a shirt. And sure, it used to embarrass me when youād pick me up from school as a kid, but I got to say at this point, I respect it.ā
Zoe joked that her fatherās longest relationship has been with the knitted shirt.
āMy whole life people always ask me whatās it like to have such a cool dad, and the answer is, awesome. Itās awesome ā but not for the reasons some might think.
āā¦Your rad-ness doesnāt come from your shades, or leather pants, or knitted shirts, it comes from your true love of life.
āEverything you do is an expression of that love ā your music, your lyrics, your live performances, your homes, your love of food, of family, of good conversations, stupid jokes, dance parties, late night kitchen talks ā you absolutely devour life.
āYou eat up every crumb and lick the plate. Life is your art. And that is why your music is so inspiring and important. You make people feel alive, you remind them of the only thing that matters ā love.ā
During his speech, Lenny took the time to single out the āpeople who watched me evolve into an artistā, including Lisa Bonet who he married in 1987 and shares daughter Zoe with, before splitting in the 1990s.
He also thanked 92-year-old Gibbs, who had starred alongside Kravitzās mother Roxie Roker in hit US sitcom The Jeffersons.
āYouāve known me since I was 11 years old, and youāve seen me through all the chapters in my life. Iām so blessed for the love that youāve shown me, my mother and the rest of my family. You get another star,ā the 59-year-old joked.
āIf Norman Lear hadnāt brought my mother out here to do The Jeffersons, I probably wouldnāt be standing here right now,ā Lenny added.
While Fences actor Washington described Lenny as āmore than a friend, more than a brotherā.
āWeāre twins, we just donāt look alike,ā the 69-year-old joked.
āGod has blessed him with an unbelievable talent, but even more so heās a giver, a lover, heās a friend.
āHeās a brother of the worldā¦I love Lenny Kravitz, like I love no other brother in my life.ā
