The Pirates of the Caribbean actor accepted his award for Favourite Movie Icon at the event that was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
During his speech, the crowds cheered and screamed as he thanked his fans who “stood by” and “trusted him”.
The 53-year-old began: “I came here for one reason, and one reason only. I came here for you, the people, who through whatever good times or bad have stood by me and trusted me.
“Thank you. You very graciously invited me here once again tonight. I appreciate it. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.”

“Because in all honesty we all know that none of us, especially me, would not be standing up here if it wasn't for all of you.”
