Keith David, who has appeared in hundreds of films, was shocked when his name was read off a list of future Walk of Fame stars.

Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, Gordon Ramsey, Rami Malek, Stanley Tucci and Angélique Kidjo also join the new class of honorees.

Musical icon Angélique Kidjo has become the first black African performer to be selected for a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kidjo, who comes from the West African country of Benin and has won five Grammy awards, was among the 35 names announced as part of the Walk of Fame's class of 2026 list.
