Robert Downey Jr. Comes To The Rescue Of Kid Who Had A Rough Day

Leave it up to Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. to save the day.

Earlier this week, a boy named Aiden was having a bad day, so his mother, who uses the Twitter handle @trips034me, took to the social media platform to ask the "Iron Man" actor to retweet a simple "Hi" to console her son.

@RobertDowneyJr It would make my son Aidan's day if you could re tweet "hi." As you can see he has had a rough day. pic.twitter.com/eMuXlUhmVB

The actor did more than just that, and ended up having a short conversation with the boy about what was bothering him.

@trips034me Aidan, what's up? Tell me everything.

@RobertDowneyJr I was racing with my bro. I was slowing down and he pushed me into the house. Not on purpose. You are the best actor. Aid

RDJ even offered up some good ol' fashioned advice.

@trips034me I'd say that's gonna leave a mark but it already did! Ice is our friend @ this point. Nice to meet u, in a soc media sorta way..

The chat seemed to have turned things around: at the end of the conversation, Aiden gushed, "You made my day and my year."

@RobertDowneyJr you made my day and my year. Thanks for talking to me.
