Celebrities, athletes and politicians continue to offer their support for an East Tennessee boy whose video about being bullied went viral over the weekend.
On Friday, Kimberly Jones posted the video of her son, Keaton, on social media. The video quickly gained attention and went viral. In the video, the boy emotionally details how he’s been bullied.
Saturday, Titans tight end Delanie Walker responded and invited Keaton and his family to the Titans game on December 31 against Jacksonville.

But the support did not end there. Actor and Marvel star Chris Evans told Keaton to “stay strong” and invited the boy and his mother to the new “Avengers” film premiere.
Stay strong, Keaton. Don’t let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in LA next year? https://t.co/s1QwCQ3toi

Keaton, will you’ve my guest at the Premiere of #InfinityWar too? I think you are about one of the coolest kids I have ever seen! Can’t wait to meet you in person, pal. Forget those ignorant kids. One day, very soon, they are going to feel pretty stupid for this. https://t.co/BqJLxu25GN

Keaton-Don't waste time wondering why a bully would be so mean-They're sad people who think hurting others will make them feel better because they really don't like themselves-They're just jealous because you're so smart & handsome❤️Your friend-mh https://t.co/SUMw3OoCTm

It's been awesome to see but I'm starting to worry about Keaton Jones' future grades with all these trips he's going to be taking this year.

You are so right Keaton....Bullying is NEVER ok! SMH at small minded people, insulting others due to their own insecurities. Be encouraged my man. They can’t take your joy!
So proud of our @Vol_Football guys who will be visiting you at @GibbsElemEagles.
