The picks were announced on Friday by radio presenter Ellen K, leader of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Walk of Fame selection panel, according to Variety.
The honorees were chosen from hundreds of people nominated for a star by the selection panel, which is made up of people who already have stars on the Walk of Fame. The Chamber's board of directors accepted its choices on Wednesday.

Jordana Brewster, who plays his wife in the Fast and Furious movies, tweeted an old photo of Paul from the shoot with the caption, "You are going to receive your star." It will never stop shining. The class of 2023 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame." Many followers flocked to social media to express their disappointment, saying it was "too late but well-deserved."
