David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn. So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy." The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’ He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience. The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask." Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.
@fasc1nate The man of the year.. Respect 🙏
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate This staged video is truly awful for a number of reasons: it's mawkish, sentimental music, humiliating the woman in the wheelchair, etc but why the actual AF does the bus not have a ramp under the door to simply pull out & lower so wheelchair users can board the bus with dignity?
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate This bus is just full of decent and kind human beings.
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate My initial thought was... He's gonna take the dog and leave her... Thats my view on humanity 🤣
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate What a wonderful person
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate This would have been better, if after handing the dog to the other passenger, the driver closed the door, got back into his seat and drove away, leaving the woman in the wheelchair behind 😂
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate Damn I know this is cynical but this is staged.
@DesiSanatani @fasc1nate Going above and beyond…he deserves respect and award.
