Robert Downey Jr. Dressed Up As ‘Tigger’ To Cheer Up A Sick Kid, Became A Real Life Hero

With great power comes great responsibility.

It’s a pretty well-known fact that Robert Downey Jr. is not just a hero on the silver screen, but in real life too. A few days back, the mother of 7-year-old Daniel, took to Instagram to reach out to her son’s favorite actor.

Daniel suffers from the deadly cystic fibrosis, a rare genetic disease that causes mucus to grow in the lungs and other organs.

After his friends bullied him at school saying that people with cystic fibrosis die, his mother asked for the help of Tony Stark to lift the spirits of her son.

 

She asked for a simple reply from ‘Iron Man’ to cheer his son up…but what happened next will completely blow your mind.

 

Robert Downey Jr. dressed up as a Disney character – Tigger from Winnie the Pooh – and posted a shot of himself on his Instagram account to put a smile on Daniel’s face.

And he didn’t just stop there. Daniel has now been invited to the premiere of his next film, Captain America: Civil War.

 

Who says superheroes don’t exist in real life?
