Thank you to David for sharing his story. 'David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived' is out now on Sky Documentaries and streaming services NOW.
Great documentary
I watched this last month. It was incredible and emotional. I definitely have a greater appreciation for the Harry Potter movies because of David.
This idea of "insurability" is so strange. The Potter films could not have been made without a face, but they also required a body. It seems to me that without you and your kind, there can be no blockbuster. I hope they took good care of you. If the stars don't need to worry about money anymore, you should never have to worry about money again. This is a story about what we value, how much we value it, and why we value it.
Which streaming services is it on?
@@DeborahSeaywhere did you watch it?
Still surprised the Oscars haven't introduced an award for stunt work yet. It's honestly a disgrace
They wont, because the Oscars listen to money, not talent
The oscars isnt about celebrating films and whp creates them. Its to celebrate the elite that work on them and stroke their ego
especially nowadays@@NortOfficial
@@Dionysos640 I think most people know the Oscars are about as meaningful with regards to filmmaking as the Emmys are or the golden globes are.
Go watch some of the best character actors, they openly tell you the toughest acting are the people doing bit parts who come in for the day and have umpteen script changes and character changes and are still expected to perform for very little money.
In a film they literally shoot three second bits and splice them together. As the joke goes, even WRITERS get no respect in Hollywood, only the good looking people in fancy clothes.
It’s almost like the Oscars are just marketing for otherwise mediocre talent in order to make more money for an industry of nepo baby scum.
These stunt doubles risk their lives to make actors/actresses look good and the Oscars (and most film awards) don't even have an awards category for them. This lack of recognition is just disgusting.
Well said
I agree
I agree. These celebs get paid so much and they can’t even do their own stunts? LAME. bless this man. I hope they are taking excellent care of him.
@@wakeupandhuman1800 Thankfully not all actors have inflated egos, Keanu Reeves actually shows appreciation for his stunt doubles and repays them. No surprise there.
The problem is that it would be a very blurry category.
Like, would it be an award for "Best Stunt" or "Best Stunt Double"? Because if it is the former you'd have to include actors who perform their own stunts. This category may also fall into the trap of rewarding people solely for putting themselves/being put in dangerous situations.
It's kind of the same reason why Guinness World Records stopped giving out world records for inherently dangerous things like obesity or fasting, because they don't want to create a competitive environment where the competition is how much mortal risk you can put yourself in.
Initially not wanting to tell his story; so kids didn't associate pain and injury with Harry Potter is just another testament to how much of a legend David really is. I hope he has a great life.
Also that fat ass check JK Rowling wrote him
What an absolute pillar of strength that guy is. You've got to admire him
PILLAR OF STRENGTH, thats one hell of a term for someone in a wheelchair lol
I agree with you. How much wisdom from a beautiful human!
Could not have put it better
@@akemi8199 makes it even better imo. to carry yourself like that despite your condition. inspiring for sure
@@akemi8199 He ended up in a wheelchair doing something he loved that you would never dare to do, yes he is a pillar of strength while you are more of the opposite...
"Take it from someone who has lost a lot of feeling, anything that makes you feel anything as a human being, embrace it don't run away from it." Amazing man.
Drugs make me feel a whole lot😎 time to embrace
@@Zteyuopui if your being honest and you continue down that path just wait… you will force yourself and your loved ones to suffer and if you don’t have the strength this man has you won’t make it.
Awful to say anything like this, to be a troll in this situation, because that too is a battle this man will have to face the rest of his life, however he deserves to live without agonizing pain, you…. Maybe not.
It comes around man, be better, learn from this guy.
I don't like one liers I'm going back to antoin
@@ZteyuopuiDrugs aren't inherently bad, it all depends on which kind it is and how you use it. It's like a gun, it can be used for good, but in the wrong hands...
Such wisdom!
The part where he says that Harry Potter is safe zone for many around the world and he doesn’t want to get broken neck story into that.. im literally crying, he’s truly such an amazing, selfless and brave soul, it’s an honour just to watch him speak..
He's got a point, hell I'm an ADULT and I'll never look at those movies the same way again. But basically this video is something that should be attached to every Harry Potter film.
That’s when I lost it, too. What a selfless act. He waited long enough to tell his story. I can’t wait to watch the documentary.
@@hayp682 LOL, good point. To be fair LOTS of people really don't like sharing their story with the world, and I can understand that. Anonymity is a hell of a thing to give up. Hoping he succeeds in improving those public services.
I love europe and asia because they have trains everywhere and they are all level to the ground so no problem for those in wheelchairs.
@@hayp682 JK Rowling just made me like her even more
That part also made me tear up
This guy is a testament to humanity. Robbed of so many things most of us take for granted but still smiling and worrying about others and not just himself. He is truly the very best of what it means to be human.
Well said, completely agree
@user-pn5mn6mv3c What are you trying to say here?
@user-pn5mn6mv3c Firstly he was well off to begin with working in movies at a young age, secondly he’s outside of the US and their garbage Healthcare system, and thirdly it still takes a lot of guile both mentally and physically to come back from such a shock. It seems to me like you’re just jealous of the opportunities he’s been given, the same opportunities he wouldn’t have got if he let his tragedy define him. “These scars that we have, we aren’t meant to go back and fix them; and there’s nothing broken within you that needs fixing. Don’t live your past, live your life”
@@currymitch5119 There's some truth in what "user-pn5mn6mv3c" has said. David is very likeable, and I wish him the very best. That said, he is lucky in his misfortune because, by his own admission, he's helped and loved by so many people. Would you praise those with a 'victim mentality' or even feel sorry for them? I bet you wouldn't. On the contrary, you'd prolly shit on them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some people receive no love (or even positive attention) from the moment they are born. It's difficult to "bring things to the table", as David said in this interview, when no one has ever brought anything to *your* table.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:56 "breaking my neck made a man of me - I was a 25year old boy"🥺😭 This young man still has his intellect, personality, humour and likeablity intact
“I’m a tough mother f*cker” 😂yes indeed! Love his heart, charm, wit & attitude. Legend of a man.
This guy is a great person and wonderful storyteller. Hes clearly gone through a lot and seems like hes got a really healthy relationship with his injuries
Healthy relationship with his injuries. Well said thank's. 1997-2006 US Marine infantryman Sgt.100P.T. Josh
Very well said.
I was once a carer for a man with similar injuries and he definitely was having a hard time coming to terms with them. It was sad really
You're right that is what he's telling is a story if you've heard anything about stunt Devil's lives it goes nothing like his. Stunt Devils play dead bodies for the first 30 years of their career
@@RekySai I don't think you have a clue of what reality is in his field. 🙄
“It changed my body. It didn’t change who I am.” Those are words I needed to hear. TY!
All he had been through and didn't lose his enthusiasm and drive what a King !👏. I wish this man every success and happiness in life.
@@metapotamusthey don’t even know 😂
One of the first times I've been genuinely moved by an interview. Interviewer needs a pat on the back too - letting him talk her through the entire ordeal. He is so well spoken, eloquently so. For a man who "lost it all" he's a damn site further on in life than many. What a top top guy. All the best to him in his future endeavors.
Agreed, the interviewer has done a great job, letting the interviewee speak their story without interruption and remaining an attentive, empathetic listener
A lot of Ladbible interviews are like this, they're really worth watching, despite the channel name.
I just wanna thank the interviewer for this great heartfelt interview. I almost started crying when heard her voice crack. I don't know what your name is but you're my favourite interviewer in Lad bible. I love hearing your voice. And I wanna thank David for sharing his story. What a force of nature. I wanna thank him for helping create a franchise for a generation of fans to enjoy for decades. This video was amazing thank you ❤
her name is Erin and she’s amazing no doubt, always feels like she’s engaged 100% and lives through other people’s stories rather than just asking questions for the sake of it
Tried to listen for the voice crack you're talking about but never heard that.. when did that happen ?
@@bekanimalStarting around 07:45-07:46
@@prawncrisp5951 oof .. 🤔 that's a reach
@@bekanimalagreed. Amazing interview and he seems like a great person, as does the interviewer. But she remained professional and never showed any sign of emotion. As she should, no judgment. Overall a great and charming interview. But this comment is definitely a reach.
David, my husband sustained a similar injury: a complete c3/c4 break when he was 46. He is now 70 and despite having a positive attitude the problems associated with kidney function have taken its toll. I like the way you describe assistants as P.A.s rather than caregivers, I will pass this on! Thank you David.
All the best to you and your husband.
I just can't believe I've never heard of this story and I'm such a Potter fan. I love his resilience and positivity, he exudes strength. So inspirational, and I appreciate how he said "I don't want to ruin HP for kids who love it". I'm not crying, you are!
The documentary he's in is amazing! I just watched it a few weeks ago. I had no idea either. It was such an eye opener.
Dan has spoken about the incident a small handful of times. I really respect his personal support of this man also.
It was in some extra materials for the film 6, I believe. Honestly this whole thing is shocking. I don't like this. Why do movies need scenes like this at all? Expecially movies such as Harry Potter?
I worked in the make up effects department on HPDH when this happened. I remember pulling up to security and it was swarming with press. We were all devastated when we heard the news. Bless him. He has so much strength!
Liar
@@Cr41gh4m1 My name is in the credits and I'm on the HPDH documentary, plus you can see me in two of the videos on the tour at Levesden studios....Oh, and there was that feature in Make-Up Artist magazine too. Just sayin' 😁
Sure.
Idk why but your reply got deleted by TH-cam. I could only see it by clicking on your profile picture. No idea what happened.
@@RobertBoyle11 Why would she make this shit up? You guys are just wanting a battle 😂😂😂
FINALLY we hear his story. I've heard of him and this incident for years, and I'm so glad we got to hear about him like this so closely. I hope he knows that.

Sorry it came up rubbish. David Holmes the boy who lived. Documentary with Daniel R.
I watched it on Binge. It's really good!!
This interviewer was BRILLIANT. Whoever you are lass, you were brilliant.
A brave man, with an amazing outlook, and great to hear that Daniel has the sort of integrity and kindness that I always thought he did.
why is he a man but she's "a lass" lmao 😂
Saw him in a Goblet of Fire's additional materials about 20 years ago; heard about the accident nearly 10 years ago. I'm glad that finally David's story is being told and more people will know about him.
You know when you listen to somebody speak for around 10 seconds and just know wholeheartedly that you’re listening to a completely genuine and truly kind person. This guy gives me that sensation.
David might be in a wheelchair now, but he flies higher than most of us ever could. I'm in awe of his abilities from psychical to mental, he expresses strength in every possible way.
“You’re either a victim or a survivor.” I’m going to remember that quote for a long time. Thank you for sharing.
I was overwhelmed with compassion for this gentleman.
Oh my gosh. This whole interview is great, but when he talked about his PA who has held him as much as his own son, I totally cried. Beautiful.
He has a smile on his face the entire time, what a hero.
This guy is an amazing man. As someone who was paralyzed from the neck down due to a GSW I know what it takes and to see his attitude and his zest for life, he is not just a survivor but a trooper. I tell people all the time that my injury made me grow in ways I didn't know possible. He is an inspiration, even to myself. Great video. Keep up the amazing attitude and smile my friend.
David and Daniel are both amazing men.
I saw David’s story and he is a fighter straight up and has an amazing attitude.
When David mentioned that Daniel didn’t want to overshadow David’s story that sounds so much like Daniel and both are kind hearted and generous and sincere 🙂
If Daniel was so “kind hearted” he’d not have stabbed the woman who made his career in the back.
@@FallenAngel9979she didn't make his career, he was already an actor before HP and she also didn't cast him. He brought one of her characters to life, that's all there is to it. Just because you disagree with how he handled her don't make him less kind hearted. We're people, we all have opinions and all, just because we worked together or you helped me out in the past doesn't mean I have to be your shadow and think like you do.
@@kustar5776 agree with this. Just to add on, if someone says something you don't agree with that's more than okay. Even if they "made your career" doesn't mean you don't have a mind of your own. I wouldn't even say he "stabbed her in the back". He didn't screw her over in any way just expressed himself.
@@FallenAngel9979
If you’re referring to J K Rowlings and her opinion/comment that’s her opinion/comment it should have no bearing or affect on Daniel nor should his opinion have bearing or affect on J K Rowling they are each intitled to their own opinions just like you and I. I was not looking to bring controversy into my opinion and yes just because there’s a difference in opinions does not make anyone less kind hearted. Myself when it comes to political stuff I like to keep it out of what little I have left to use as a pleasurable escape time I have this was a family bond time I did with my kids so it’s a comfort to me when I do need that fighting stage 5 kidney disease.
And for the record I like J K Rowlings and Daniel they are both very good at what they do and making people happy this was never supposed to be for bashing one or the other.
@@charmedirish1Hope you can enjoy your time exactly as you’d like, both when you’re alone and enjoying time with family. Hope you’re having a blast &/or enjoying all the beauty around you, wherever you are. All the best to you from Australia 🦘
He truly seems like one of the most likable guys out there, and so worthy of getting some spotlight. Not just for his work but for his heart. He’s got a lot of wisdom to share and I have so much respect.
Daniel Radcliffe is a stand up man. Not many if any celebrities can say they keep in touch with their stunt double.
Keanu also did, no? They are the ones who created john wick after all
He has pure happiness in his face. So positive.
@user-pn5mn6mv3c It's also easy for someone in his position to be depressed and angry because he lost a job he loved even with money and family. I've seen it happen a lot more than see someone be positive and happy.
You sound like you are jealous. Be happy you have the ability to go through life on two legs because it could change in the blink of an eye- like it did for him. Be happy in whatever life has given you. No one is guaranteed money, family, and parties. He embraces life and shows happiness in his character. You should too. Not spreading unhappiness and jealousy.
Love how he says 'if you are on fire, and you are waiting for someone to put you out, you need to know they will be there'. To most people saying that, it would be some kind of figure of speech, but to him its, no when i am literally on fire 😂. What an amazing guy, wish him all the best!
Just watched the documentary on Netflix. Wow. What an incredible man he is! Never seen anyone so positive and happy despite everything. A true inspiration!
Oh what’s it called ?
What’s it called please?
@MrAidanfleming Sorry, it's not Netflix. It's on Sky Documentaries. It's called David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived.
its on max in the us :) watching it now.
He go crazy he did all of there roles. That's fukkin crazy. Lmfao.
Stuntmen and stuntwomen are underrated and need more recognition!
Too late they are almost extinct, it is easier to animate stunts than to film them
David is frickin brilliant. I love how he gets down to business in earnest but always with a smile. Especially with the "how can we be better as a society to people with disabilities?" Disability is individual and personal, being disabled is how society treats you, where it thinks you should be able to go and what it thinks you should be able to do and contribute. We need to stop disabling people with disabilities as a global community.
Also don't shy away from any opportunity to feel is a spectacular answer.
Amazing person who shows that life is not over when a tragic accident happens, and how inspiring it is.
This interview was incredible. So eloquent, humble and interesting.
Also, props to the interviewer for giving him the space to answer properly.
The fact that he has to now live with an unimaginable horrific injury and still smiles and sees the good in simple things melts my heart. The "can I swear 😊" made me giggle and smile because it's just so lovely to see how happy and respectful he is. He needs an award without him Harry potter wouldn't be as good as it is! So inspiring and lovely xx ❤️
I like that he says people should take from his story what they will. What I take from it is an appreciation for being able to move my body while I can, whether it's working out or just completing life tasks and chores. It's something we so often take for granted until we lose that ability. Also what a lovely person he is,❤ and the fact that he didn't want to do the documentary at first because he didn't want to "tarnish" the HP movies 😢
When you watch this guy in the documentary fighting the agonising pain of his injuries at home in his bedroom and anxiously biting his nails, (which is utterly heart breaking and destroyed me)... to then hear him talk about his future and finding that light in everyday and embracing all feelings, good and bad as a human... is so powerful and one of most inspirational things I've seen on YT! I applaud and thank you you David for sharing your story! p.s You're most definitely one of the toughest "Mother-F*%#ER's" around mate! Much love to you and what ever you have planned for the future pal!✌🤙🙏
As David said, he became a man with the injury. The way he has handled the accident and the ideas he represented in this video show absolute strength even if he's physically more limited now.
This guy has experienced a lot but learned a hell of a lot in the process and has come out with a positive attitude regardless of his trials and tribulations.
This man is truly a testament to being in the dark and rising from with a smile. God bless 🙏🏼
Remarkable story, well spoken guy with good outlook, wish him all the best
This guy is such a legend! I love his wisdom. Also, his relationship with Daniel is such a joy to hear.
Watched the documentary a few weeks back. The insight into the stuntman prep and performances was incredible, and it was devestating seeing how the incident affected his interrelationships and the process of healing they all went through after Potter finished in 2011. I’m glad stories like his are getting highlighted now all these years later.
What a lovely man. He’s been through so much yet I’ve never seen anyone seem so happy despite what he’s been through.
His positivity and optimism is truly endearing. Even after being through all that, he still has his enthusiasm and drive. He is also such an amazing storyteller! He seems like such a comforting and great person to be around. Overall wonderful person and I wish nothing but the best for him!
What an incredible human. His perspective, his acceptance, his positivity! Thank you for sharing his story. I have much to learn from this gentleman.
I’ve always wondered what happened to him over the years. What an amazing and inspiring man. Hope he continues to share his life experiences - he has a lot to offer.
Thank you David , you set an example for us all. I live my life with an spinal cord injury, not as serious as yours, mine prevents me from sitting down. Indeed this disability changed my life, I cannot work anymore, I cannot travel, I have no social life and very little family life. But listening to you tonight I realized I am also a hopeful woman, because if you can simile and go on living , so can I. I am speechless David. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
His attitude towrds life is just amazing ... bro you are not the tarnish on harry potter story, you are the cherry on top
Given the nature of his injuries and the scope of the impact its had on his life its amazing the amount of humility he is presenting us with. I dare say he is almost joyous, which takes a strong individual to pull through. A great guy through and through and I wish him all the best 🖖
@user-pn5mn6mv3c Depends what country you live in unfortunately.
@user-pn5mn6mv3c the job I currently do has me delivering to people like him. You're right, a few of them I see are alone and its an extremely hard life. Enough to break anyone. I feel pangs of guilt when I leave them to get to my next stop. Otherwise id stay and chat for a while.
This guy seems like a really good laugh to chat to as well
Blow away by this guys resilience ~ wishing you the best pal
There should be an awards category for stunt work!
This guy is awesome. Could listen to him talk for hours, so many interesting stories and such a strong and positive character through horribly challenging times. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Thank-you David so much for your dedication to storytelling... I cannot fathom how strong you are... I just hope you know that the stories you've contributed to have emotionally changed the lives of millions.
Such a professional, articulate and inspiring gentleman, his love for making movies and commitment to his job despite his injuries is a breath of fresh air, he took a risky role and understood that risk, not blaming the world for what happened to him, but instead remembering the projects he worked on and colleagues he met with such fondness, a real champ
What a legend! Such a humble nice bloke. Still tragic, but he seems to have just "got on with it". Pretty strong mindset.
I remember hearing about his accident on the hp set.my heart went out to him❤
I have so much respect and admiration for david and all his fellow stuntmen and women out there that give their all for their work.
What a truly remarkable man. His attitude to life is really inspiring 👍👍👍
David is an absolute legend. From working in a risky job that gives the rest of us entertainments as we watch film after film to experiencing an horrific accident! I admire his resilience and positive attitude he has on life and him now helping others through their own tough journeys navigating their disabilities. I wish David nothing but the absolute best in life because he is a kind and gentle soul. Thank you for sharing David ❤
What an absolute humble legend. Your smile can light the world.
What an absolutely lovely, strong, positive bloke. Wish you all the best, sir.
Massive damage to my L5 made my right leg stop working. Only one leg was fucked, thankfully. It's been 2.5 years since surgery and have regained ~60% of my movement. I'll never run again, and my balance is destroyed, but there's always the hope it will improve more.
Wishing you strength and All things good!
Take a good long look at this terrific human being. This is what a real man looks like. Terrific interview. Thank you.
This guy is a giant among men. Truly inspiring.
Him talking about how much it hurt to see his family hurt and how it’s his motivation to stay positive.. what a remarkable person! Truly selfless and inspiring.
What a lovely lad. He sounds proper humble as well. The world needs more people like him.
@user-pn5mn6mv3c Okay? What’s your point?
@user-pn5mn6mv3care you throwing a pity party for yourself with all of these comments you're spamming around?
i adore the warmth in his eyes and voice, love people like that
Thank you, David, for all your hard work. You contributed to making a film series that will last for decades & people like you that work on these films dont get near enough credit
David thank you so much for sharing about the "extreme ups and extreme downs." To see you there on LADbible, looking great, smiling, talking about your outreach efforts, and then also talking about how you were in bed with overwhelming pain last week is somehow very helpful to me as a person with a different physical disability that also comes with extreme ups and extreme downs.
What an amazing guy and inner strength he has, I hope he reads all of these wonderful comments and thanks for sharing your story and wish you all the best for the future
What a inspiration this man is, not letting something like this break him is incredible
What an amazing guy! Not an ounce of anger or bitterness
Thank you so much for telling your story David! The Disability Community is a large family, and we're blessed to have you to be a voice. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful, caring, incredibly brave and honourable man... I can’t express how much this story both moved me, hurt me, inspired me. Wow... every articulated thought was honestly so beautiful. You’re courage and motivation to be as positive as possible, and caring about others around you and fans... wow.. I’m speechless...
What a legend. He is so strong and positive and it's truly a reminder to live life one day at a time, be present and live life to the fullest.
David, you are incredible. Your resilience, strength and positivity to get through one of the hardest parts in your life and keep going despite all the many challenges is astounding. I don’t think a lot of people could go through what you have and still have so much love, happiness and positivity for yourself and to give to the world. I honestly don’t think I could. You’re incredible David. Thank you for who you are and all that you’ve done. I’m so sorry for what happened to you and how people have treated you because of something completely out of your control, but you’re incredible, and you’re never on your own.
What a dude! He’s an absolute inspiration to human spirit.
David, you are such an articulate man with such wise words! Thank you so much for stepping into the camera light again to share such powerful messages - to feel, in any capacity, is a gift. Cheers X
What a legend. Everything he says is so genuine and heartfelt, you can feel the depth of his intelligence and wisdom with every word he speaks. The fact that he is so positive and hopeful despite the challenges he faced (and still is facing) is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. I’m so happy he’s sharing his story with the world, both the difficult and beautiful parts. He seems like an incredible man with a beautiful soul, I’d love to talk to him in person someday.
He is truly one in a million. I don't think many ppl could come through what he has with the strength and resilience he has. I wish all the best for him going forward.
To David: Thank you for telling your story, and also thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Harry Potter series. Apparently you've been a great part of my childhood and I've never even known.
You're an amazing individual with an incredibly strong character. Please keep being awesome. Also yeah, this is probably the right time to come out with stories like these. Those who watched the series originally all those years ago now have the presence of mind to realize that the movie industry isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
So crazy I thought about this guy literally last week and here he is so glad to see he’s still with us and staying strong what a legend
I know how extremely lucky I am, and what a wonderful life I have, but I don’t think I could ever be as positive as David is. What an amazing personality to go along with such an incredible history.
As someone that grew up reading the books, then watching the movies, I wish I could thank him for his contributions in making it all so real. He couldn’t possibly tarnish any of that for us. My 13 year old son just watched this with me, and he says so as well. His story only makes it all so much closer to home.
We’re all so proud of you, David. Such a badass. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
He's such a sweet soul and also very wise. Loved this interview. I went through some back injury myself, thankfuly recovered but I can appreciate his strength even more because of it. My injury also made me tougher and wiser. Thank you for posting this. Much love to the crew and this man.
I watched the documentary, and it was incredible and a great insight into stunts in harry potter and what was going on behind the scene and into the risks that this amazing human took as well as his fellow stuntmans and being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel after becoming paralysed. David, you are incredible.
Such a lovely human being and such a positive message and outlook after a tragic event. Thank you for sharing your story!
his smile, and just that love that he has in his eyes for life and the world is so healing. I bet David is a funny guy amongst friends that bring joy and laughter to people around, and he stands solid when he's by himself. all of this comes from a guy that suffer incredible trauma and come out to the other end. I am grateful for his existence, because of him, the world is an incredible place.
I am in absolute awe about his mental strength and hope. Love this.
He’s absolutely incredible! His enthusiasm for the industry is phenomenal and really inspirational ⭐️
What an amazing attitude and lovely personality. It would be so easy to be bitter and angry after a devastating accident.
What a lovely lovely human. Cannot believe how incredible of a perspective he has and it’s beyond inspirational. I’ll carry his message with me in all that I aspire for. Thank you!
Fair play to this man. He's an inspiration and it's amazing to see how strong he is despite the adversity. Top man.
He should be Sir David Holmes, he is a true survivor and a real life super hero 🫡🫡🫡
What a nice guy, such a soft and kind voice
What a well-spoken and good-hearted young man. I'm humbled.
He just casually said Daniel tried for wolverine. Love that.
