Samuel Johnson reveals he found a note from Connie

He tragically lost his sister Connie after she succumbed to her public battle against cancer.

And writing for Mamamia on Wednesday, Samuel Johnson has opened up about the moment he accidentally stumbled across a note from his late sibling two weeks after her death.

While the actor admitted he didn’t normally believe in ‘signs’, he recounted how he found a handwritten message from Connie just as he was trying to ‘take his mind off things’.

The Molly actor revealed that he was exhausted and decided to take a bath and relax with a book.

‘I had so many choices. So many books waiting for ‘when I find the time’ (cough), and I reach for Smarter, Faster, Better, I’m not sure why,’ Samuel wrote.

‘I open it to a message in my sister’s handwriting. Connie gave the book to me as a gift. She’d written me a message on the inside cover. It was the first book I reached for after she died.’

‘Hopefully it will help us get through the enormous transition our charity is undertaking this year. We can do it! We will do it!’
