However, before entering politics and building a career in law, Johnson had an unexpected creative stint in the entertainment industry. Johnson also recalled how his one-year-old son would sit on his knee while he worked on the music, watching scenes from the anime unfold. “I remember him sitting on my knee and stuff blowing up. He’s like, ‘Oh, Daddy, Goku. “And even then it just got me street cred with my kids’ friends. And it gave me a creative outlet and a cultural connection that very few people have had the opportunity to have,” he added.
