Jaxson Denno, who is 18 months old, is a huge Iron Man fan. So when his parents found out Iron Man himself Robert Downey Jr was nearby shooting a movie, they arranged the meeting of a lifetime.
Like only an 18-month child could though, Denno burst into tears when introduced to Tony Stark, because… he wasn’t in the suit. No suit = no Iron Man for a tiny human. Cue the tears and the amazing photo up top.
The story ends on a brighter note though; seems once Downey Jr started talking, Denno recognised the voice, and all was well.

“It’s alright kid, i have the same effect on women”
When my sister was like 2 or 3, my dad came home from a business trip with a moustache, and she burst in to tears saying “That’s not my daddy!”
Haha. My kids did the same when I shaved my beard off yesterday. Got home, they ran to the door yelling daddy and stopped when they saw me and just stared at me for a bit.
lol poor buggers
Poor kids? Poor partner. Losing a beard… good god. @freezespreston think of the children! Think of the partner!
It’s always a tragedy when a beard falls. Still… At least your loved ones can take comfort in the words of Jean Cocteau:
“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
They were merely considering whether to disown you for murdering a beard.
hahahahaha, I actually had the same reaction when my Dad shaved his mustache when I was about 6 or 7 XD
i’m not surprised! I did the same when I saw you yesterday! lol
Downeys face kinda says it all. That ‘fuck off with your camera’ look…
I remember watching Family Ties as a kid and thinking ‘Why aren’t they calling him Marty?’
Kids are easy to disappoint. If you promise them something you must be very specific and deliver on that 100%. Parenting 101 for sure.
Sad for the kid.
Awww bless
