Malachi Barton stepped onto the stage at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event to receive the Rising Star Award.

He is only 19 and already building a name in Hollywood.

But when it was time to speak, Barton did not make the moment only about himself.

He thanked his parents for raising him in a home where God was at the center. He said they taught him that success is about more than awards and headlines.

Then he ended his speech with two simple words.

“Thank you, Jesus.”

That kind of moment matters. Young stars are often told to build their own name. Barton used his platform to point beyond himself and give thanks to Christ.
