EJ Johnson Shines in Saint-Tropez: Magic Johnson's Star-Spangled Vacation

GET READY FOR THE MOST EPIC FAMILY VACATION EVER!

In a shocking display of relaxation, Earvin "EJ" Johnson III was spotted lounging barefoot on a picturesque bench overlooking the harbor in the luxurious French Riviera coastal town of Saint-Tropez - and we're talking beachy vibes galore! The 33-year-old nepo baby, who has lost an impressive 180 pounds following gastric sleeve surgery in 2014, flashed his toned physique in a white bra-top and yellow sarong while clutching his heels and a teensy purse. Talk about making a splash!

But the real showstopper is EJ's famous dad, NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr., who is currently enjoying a lavish family vacation with his son and other loved ones. And let me tell you, it's been a wild ride! Magic, 65, shared a sassy video on Wednesday of himself busting a move to Diana Ross' iconic disco hit Love Hangover as they dined al fresco - because what's a family vacation without a little bit of dad dancing?

But wait, there's more! On July 2, Magic posted epic drone footage of himself walking a treadmill while aboard a mega-yacht that reportedly costs a whopping $1.4 million per week to charter and cruise around the Mediterranean in style. And can you blame him? Monaco, Croatia, Portofino, Capri, and Cannes - where do we sign up?

And let's not forget Magic's heartfelt birthday message to his son EJ on June 4: "Happy birthday to my son EJ! Thank you for making the world a better place. Your mom and I love you and are very happy that you're making a difference in the lives of so many people!" Aw, isn't that just the sweetest thing?

But what's truly remarkable is Magic's journey towards self-acceptance and his son EJ's bravery in coming out as gay in 2013. As Magic revealed to Variety in 2022: "I had to accept who he was and who he wanted to be. He actually helped me get there because he was so proud. [My wife] Cookie said, 'Look in the mirror.' I said, 'You're right.' Because I'm proud of who I am. And he got it from me."

And speaking of Magic's journey, let's take a trip down memory lane to 1991 when he bravely announced his HIV diagnosis while his wife Earlitha "Cookie" Kelly was two months pregnant with EJ (they both tested negative). As Magic recalled to CBS Mornings in 2021: "I wanted to make sure that she was going to be okay, the baby was going to be okay, and then I can move forward with making sure I was going to be okay." Talk about being a rockstar!

So what's next for this fabulous family? Well, Magic and Cookie will be celebrating 34 years of wedded bliss on September 14 - because commitment is key! And if you thought Magic was a party animal, wait until you see Cookie get honored as a 2025 ETAF Champion during The Elizabeth Taylor Night of Compassion: Meeting the Moment gala at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Don't forget your "purple glam" dress code!

And what about EJ's acting career? Well, let's just say he's been keeping busy! His last onscreen gig was portraying Melo in three episodes of Gloria Calderón Kellett's rom-com series With Love, which aired from 2021-2023 on Amazon Prime Video. And did you know that EJ also voiced the young version of Michael Collins in the animated sitcom The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, which aired from 2022-2023 on Disney+?

But here's a curious fact - EJ hasn't posted anything on his Instagram account since 2023! With an impressive 680K followers, we can only hope he's just taking a little break to enjoy the fruits of his labor. After all, as the saying goes, "absence makes the heart grow fonder"!

So there you have it - the most epic family vacation ever! What do you think, Scholarynote.com readers? Are you ready for some serious FOMO?
