14 DAY TRIAL // TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel is famous for his staged videos and his pranks, but it seems that he is not too hard to be brought to tears, as it was revealed in the lastest episode of his show.
After the viral success of the Epic Twerk Prank and the Sochi Wolf Prank, Jimmy took on a more serious note when he invited 7-year-old Max Wilford in the studio, a brave young boy who is battling brain cancer.
Kimmel appeared in a multicolored suit made completely out of loom projects and presented a video compilation made by the people at Max' school, in which they revealed his plan to make the world's longest loom chain in order to raise awareness for the disease.
“Super Max,” as his friends and teachers call him, is showing incredible courage and inspiring many other people along the way. He asked people to send him Rainbow Looms, which are a trendy new toy for kids, so he can make the world's longest Loom Chain.
The show made public the Max Love Project, a non-profit organization that seeks to help families “fighting childhood cancers and life-threatening conditions with accessible, practical, and kid-friendly whole-body wellness.”
When he was invited in the studio, Max revealed that he had plans to make his chain “100 miles long.” Kimmel vowed that he would auction off his own “Suit of the Loom” and giving away the proceeds to charity, but not before he gave Max some gifts.
Iron Man himself made an appearance on the set to hand brave Super Max a set of Disneyland tickets and his own customized cape mad out of loom material and embroidered with his own name.
Seeing the kid's reaction was enough to make Jimmy Kimmel well up and as the cameras were ready to cut away, Jiimmy found himself struggling to find his words as he held back real tears.
In an emotional moment that probably brought many people in the audience and even people in front of their TVs to tears, Jimmy proves that he's not too ashamed to cry on TV and that, despite his antics, he too is just as human as the rest of us.
The emotional segment has been making the rounds on the internet, where people have already been making the Max Love Project more popular and spreading the news. They also praise the TV presenter for his courage and for the fact that he cried at the end, which is proof that he truly cares.
