Samuel Johnson scooped both the Best Actor Award and the Gold Logie at Australian television’s night of nights, and emotionally dedicated his win to his sister who is battling breast cancer.

The 38-year-old actor dedicates much of his time to raise money for cancer research and explained the latest fundraising effort that he and his sister are attempting.

“My sister is succumbing finally to the perils of cancer after a three decade-long tussle,” Johnson said.

“Rather than rolling over, she’s going out blazing with an attempted world record for the longest line of coins, absurdly. She’s putting together a row of coins in the shape of a love heart.”

Johnson and Connie started the charity Love Your Sister, which is dedicated to raising awareness and money for breast cancer research, and he asked people to donate to support the cause.

When accepting the Gold Logie for his portrayal of Molly Meldrum, he was joined on stage by the music guru himself, who stole the show. You can watch the hilarious double act below.
