Beautiful day with my daughters today! Happy Father!!!

Now, more than ever, people are in need of their spirits being lifted. His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu share their invaluable wisdom about how we can seek, maintain, and share joy, even during times of struggle, through the powerfully inspiring film @MissionJOYfilm. Streaming for free for the next 48 hours, this incredible documentary celebrates the wonderful friendship between these two iconic spiritual leaders. It’s equal parts inspiring and hilarious and you will not resist ear-to-ear when watching it. Watch it absolutely free on my Facebook page starting June 2 @ 5pm PST. #MissionJoy #missionjoyfilm #unite4joy #desmondtutu #dalailama #joy #happy

After a virtual graduation during the pandemic, it was incredible to watch my daughter True walk and to address her and her classmates at NYU Gallatin’s in-person commencement celebrations yesterday. I love you, True — congratulations to you and all of NYU Gallatin’s graduates!

Last glimpse of Cannes. Thank you for all the love I received during the past few days. Thank you to the people who make the Festival such a unique rendezvous for the international film community. Being back to France was an amazing experience - as always. Can’t wait to be back.

Thank you so much Cannes! Receiving the 2022 Palme d’or d'honneur is a grace beyond words! My gratitude goes to Pierre Lescure and Thierry Frémaux for granting me this award, and for their commitment to cinema as a universal art @festivaldecannes #cannes

Celebrating the screening of our documentary "For the Sake of Peace" with the production team! Cannot wait to bring it to you on Wednesday at the @festivaldecannes! #cannes2022

Taking a quiet moment by the sea in France.

So happy to have “For the Sake of Peace” screened at the #CannesFilmFestival this year. My personal thanks to all of you who made the film possible – in South Sudan, the US and France! @whitaker_peace @r2digitalagency @nybongiovi @festivaldecannes #cannes2022

One week to Cannes! Well arrived in France, enjoying a little sun in Paris ☀

I’m deeply touched to be receiving the Honorary Palme d'Or at the 75th Festival de Cannes! 34 years ago, being named Best Actor at Cannes for my performance in Bird launched my international career — so it’s especially meaningful to be returning for this honor. @festivaldecannes #Cannes2022

On this momentous day, I’m proud to be an American, and send my wholehearted congratulations to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for her appointment to the Supreme Court.

The @ipcc revealed that heatwaves, storms, & water shortages are just a glimpse of what lies ahead of us if we don’t take urgent #ClimateAction now. The facts are undeniable. We’re living in a climate emergency. Let’s act like it. www.un.org/climateaction
