*heart goes asplodey!*
From i09, Ryan Reynolds responds to a little GL who asks him how it feels to recite the oath:
God. I’m not even a big fan of GL or RR, but that just makes me all mushy. I love superheroes and comics, but there’s absolutely nothing like one of the little ones meeting their heroes for the first time. My own?
My tot saw her, and ran down the sidewalk for a block to meet her. Mommy’s heart? Exploded and melted all at once. I imagine that’s what Ryan Reynolds just did to another mommy’s heart (and a bunch of other fans watching this video.) Dude.
Adorable! *wistful sigh* My childhood happiness would have gone up significantly had my heroes transformed/uttered their catchphrases in front of me because I asked…
@Ben: Ha! mine, too.
As a result of my father working in PR for a sports arena, I had the opportunity to do some cool stuff and meet a lot of celebrities. The two that made the biggest impression on me were Adam West dressed as Batman and Clayton More dressed as The Lone Ranger with Silver (not the original). These were two of my favorite TV shows, and I was simply awestruck to meet my idols, so I can relate.
