Rich, good looking actor suggests he got to where he is today by working some menial jobs as a teenager, continues to give trite motivational speech where he equates sexiness with intelligence and generosity, suggests the constraints of life all imaginary.

How would his speech look if he instead was never successful in acting (this is essentially a lottery), wasn't born good looking, didn't have the money to live life free of the constraints that poor people do?

Then I'd ask you, Would it be better for him to go up on stage and say, "It's not worth trying. I got to where I am purely through luck"?

Aside from that simply not being true — luck is never that powerful — it doesn't achieve anything. He's encouraging his young fans to work hard and value things not often valued in the media. I don't see what's wrong with that.

How I felt while watching this speech: 1) Motivation to work harder at my job. 2) Relief that people do develop better tastes in people as they age (i.e. generosity over coolness) 3) Hope that the system isn't as rigid as it seems. That I can find my own success through my own solutions.
