Robert Downey Jr. Dresses As Tigger For Young Fan Suffering From Cystic Fibrosis

Robert Downey Jr. continues to prove he is the hero of choice, which may not bode well for Captain America this coming March.

The mother of a young fan suffering from cystic fibrosis has posted on Instagram stating there is nothing her son would like better than to meet the real life Iron Man.

“This is my son Daniel and he has cystic fibrosis.” Vicky Keyte said. “He is seven years old and wants nothing more to meet his idol Robert Downey Jr (aka iron man) as he has managed to get past the bullies he faces from day to day by telling them the he too has a 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. If this reaches him and Daniel could get a reply I hope that it could help him through his stay in hospital as it is starting to take its toll on him.”

Robert Downey Jr. has taken notice of the request and reached out to invite young Daniel to the premiere of Captain America: Civil War — dressed as Tigger from Winnie the Poo.

“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.”

Robert Downey Jr. is known for his charitable superhero deeds as in the past the actor has surprised kids at a PAL premiere of Iron Man 3, surprised kids at a Comic-Con costume contest, and gave a bionic arm to a 7-year-old.

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
