Simone Alexandra Johnson first entered the spotlight as a model, per Popsugar. She was previously signed to IMG Models, the same agency that has represented modeling giants like Kate Moss and Chrissy Teigen. Johnson has also been seen on red carpets next to her father, especially during his Blockbuster movie and TV show premieres — she was by his side at the People’s Choice Awards in 2017, when he won an award for Ballers (via People).
Johnson was the 2018 Golden Globe Ambassador, making her the first person in history to hold the new gender-neutral title after the retirement of “Miss Golden Globe,” per The New York Times. “I’m so happy about the change because it’s more inclusive and it promotes equality,” she said at the time. “I’m really passionate about those things.”
She also celebrated the honor on Instagram after it was announced in 2017. “Finding words to describe exactly how I feel right now is a bit hard. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you to the HFPA, my parents, and everyone else who has helped this all come together,” she wrote. “I feel so blessed to be a part of this incredible journey and be known as the first Golden Globe Ambassador.”
