“Vicky Keyte’s seven-year-old son Daniel has cystic fibrosis, and she reached out to the American actor when he experienced taunts from another classmate.
“This is my son Daniel and he has cystic fibrosis, he is seven years old,” she wrote on Instagram.
“He has managed to get past the bullies he faces from day to day by telling them the he too has an extra special port in his chest much like iron man has his arc reactor.”
“I am sharing this in hope that Mr Stark (as Daniel calls him out of the suit) could find a way to contact me on here as Daniel could really do with a little lift at the moment after a child at school has told him that all children with cf die.”
To the British mother’s amazement, Robert Downey Junior sent a warm response, and invited Daniel to the LA premiere of Captain America: Civil War as his guest.
“Mr. Stark here. This is for Daniel (@envy_coatings) who was having a rough day recently. When I’m in the dumps, I’ve found this little getup to be helpful. P.S. Would you like to come to the LA premiere of Captain America: Civil War as my guest? If so, have your people call my people. All the best.”
Overjoyed, Vicky wrote that her little son is bow bring fitted with a tuxedo to attend the permiere in LA.
“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that helped to make this possible and a massive thank you to @robertdowneyjr for Daniels invite to join you in LA, we physically can not believe it and can’t ever imagine a way to thank everyone enough.”
She added that she was “a blubbering wreck” when she received the actor’s reply.”
Doesn’t it bring a tear to your eye? How many people with 50 million dollar paychecks actually take time to show they genuinely care about others. And when it comes to kids, they’re the best people- clearly, Robert Downey Jr. is a real life superhero!
