Hollywood stars rally behind bullied student Keaton Jones

Cape Town – Hollywood stars have shared their support for young student Keaton Jones after a video of him went viral on Friday.

Keaton’s mom, Kimberly,  shared a video of her tearful son describing the bullying he has had to endure at school.

“Why do they bully? What’s the point of it?” Keaton says to the camera, detailing how his classmates target him specifically and make fun of his appearance and call him “ugly”.

Towards the end of the video – which Kimberly says her son asked to film after his mom fetched him because he was too afraid to go to lunch – Keaton shares a message of encouragement to all those who have been bullied.

“If you are made fun of, just don’t let it bother you. They suck, I guess. It’s hard but it will probably get better one day.”

Since sharing the video, people from around the world are receiving Keaton’s message loud and clear, including celebrities.

From Kevin Jonas to Cardi B to Millie Bobby Brown to Eva Longoria and Snoop Dogg. The stars are sharing their support via social media.

Chris Evans went as far as to invite Keaton and his mom to the Avengers premiere next year.
