FREE HUGS IN HOLLYWOOD

[@eamber246]

That's just too cool. My favorite part is toward the end when the couple walks by with their two kids....and it's the kids that take notice (before their parents) and pull themselves away for a hug from you. BEAUTIFUL!

[@wellnessalchemist]

So beautiful - Hugging all those people is still a favorite memory and it feels just as good to watch!

[@courtneysarah01]

Who would dislike this?!? Look at how happy everyone is!!!! The world can always use happiness!

[@Eavenstars]

I really loved this video! The most beautiful thing I noticed of the video was even when others were hesitant to hug, not one person walked away from that without a bright smile on their face.

[@GLDNDSGIRL]

I just wanna say this... Chris.. I knew you were a very funny and talented guy but I had know idea you were so compassionate. A hug really does mkae anyone feel better, and this is absolutely amazing to watch. Keep it up.. you are truly inspirational

[@All_Might_Dada]

You have no idea, this video made me so happy. To see all the different cultures and people that society is usualy afraid to talk to, hugging and smiling together is really touching. Thank you for making this video, it was really beautiful to see.

[@elinedmina]

i wish i could hug a million people like you... spreading love to every mankind through hugs soothe the heart and soul.... i love you guys....

[@summerluvin229]

This made me cry lol. I've never seen a person make tons of people so happy, our society needs to learn that one thing can help all

[@Sofoklis33]

that is so touching... little children hug people with so much love u can feel the energy through the video

[@dorkus121108]

I've been watching your videos daily for two years and honestly this is my favorite of all time. ♡

[@MDHebron]

Just look at all those people smiling after the hugs. You made them feel better. Congrats! It's one simple gesture that the whole world understands. Great vid! I should go out and start giving free hugs too.

[@badmammajamma85]

ok in all honesty throughout this whole clip tears of joy were streaming down my face, yet also tears of sadness because as beautiful clip this is it is so sad to realize that life could be this way society chooses not to act this way. just watching someone of the people walking away from a free hug is pretty sad its like what the hell dude it's a HUG.

[@MakeSomeoneSmileaz]

For some reason this is my favorite of all the Free Hugs videos!

[@papachino1000]

makes my eyes water..because you never know what the power of love can do for the world

[@thesweetestpea83]

this is just amazing, i love everything about it. even made me cry... you are so awesome

[@bellaedward945]

i think i'm going to go out on my street with a couple of friends and hold up a sign that says "free hugs" a hug shows a littl bit of peace and unity in this time of hurt. we should do this more often it might actually help our world to go out and hug some random person. who knows you might just make their day!

[@snlgirl52]

that was, without a doubt, the cutest thing I have ever seen. I just want to go give everyone a hug right now...that's so amazing. Thank you for doing that... Now I want a hug!

[@ElizaDoolittle5328]

It actually made me cry!!! I love this!!! I wanna do this!!! That has to be the best idea, i have seen anyone have in a long time!!! Spread the love man!!!

[@tinabug7199]

It made me cry....what a beautiful thing you guys did. you probly made so many peoples day. its amazing what a hug can do. that such a little thing can mean so much.

[@qlump1e]

this makes me smile. Whenever I'm feeling down this can pick me right back up

[@TiffanyCass]

What a beautiful video! That made me cry, wish there was more people like you in this world!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face- i had a lousy day....xx

[@eve1stgirl]

there's absolutely no reason to dislike these videos. Free hugs are meant to make you happy

[@RonTahan1]

why would someone dislike this? no1 is trying 2 get famous or rich from doing it, just a very cool thing 2 tell and show ur friends and family. i wish i had the guts 2 go and do it myself...

[@mrsblacksheik4627]

You gotta love the smiles that people leave with. What could be better?

[@Ozspur1]

Not enough of this happiness in the world... love it.

[@munioTitan]

I gave hugs away and is such a great experience!!! People needs a hug out there!! I would do it again

[@jcstroe]

[@LM22102]

Ah, wow. That's all I can say. I was really touched by this video, thank you. The song went well with the concept of the video. Hugs, wow. Who knew. Thank you Chris. Really.

[@VictoryAviation]

The little kids smile as he ran away was EPIC!!!!

[@jmendezmet]

Hugs from Camden, NJ! I'm gonna get a couple of friends and teachers and we are gonna try to do that around our neighborhood too! This was so moving! Something so simple like a hug can really make this world a better place! I'll send you the video as a response!

[@angelstar1982]

How can anyone not feel better after watching this video? Awesome for cheering someone up!! Chris, please come offer free hugs in Canada!! hehehe

[@justanotherother]

[@montcalmwolfe]

Very HAPPY to see Lisa Murray work again. Charlie.

[@mybeautifulrescue21]

This is so lovely. Made me tear up a little! I can see why this was one of the best days of your life Chris! I almost called you Ricky for a second there haha

[@skippyqsb]

Nicely put together video. I especially like how it was black and white, until the first hug then went to color, very nice!!!

[@rhcpguitarar]

Same here. I was thinking that. If I was ever president or even mayor of a city I would call the second week of each month free hugs week.

[@christhompson]

i think the song in any of the videos sets the mood

[@wowJhil]

This is a great idea, really nice. And quite funny to see also ow different people act, as well seem to like the hugs. I am sure most people leave you guys in a happier mood :)

[@badmammajamma85]

[@ZahraSaghir]

I love living in Hollywood. Everyone is so outgoing and when those signs went up every got into it :D

[@christhompson]

they were my favorite part of this whole thing :)

[@parisiansock]

Courageous ! In big towns (like Paris where I am) most of people are paranoid. Also most of people would secretly appreciate a hug. thanx

[@najae808]

Even Freddy Kreuger wants a hug! That's a step in the right direction, don'tcha think? Oh, and lovely choice of song ^_^ Braddah Iz! He rocks.

[@SterneSehen]

Dude, this is awesome. The kids were just too cute! :-)

[@jaxorama]

This is what's wrong with the UK. People would think you're trying to pick-pocket them or something. Beautiful movement and idea...keep the love flowin!

[@cali22dude]

truly amazing!!!! love it ...love it..love it...

[@ccw139]

OMG this is so awsome :3 i found myself smileing the whole way through! i love hugs :3 but rarely ever receive them... this seems fun.

[@2000everett4]

Thanks for posting and the music was perfect. Hugs from LA. Do it again real soon.

[@pcgutten]

i think has more effect when two guys hug than when a girl and a guy, its like: oh a girl that will hug anyone, im in. but when its two guys its more like they dont care if its a guy they just want a hug. and HUGS FROM NORWAY :D

[@gledalka]

i vote for this video as the sweetest on youtube!! awesome! HUGS**** :)

[@jagrmari]

Great song Israel. Certainly made the video even better. R.I.P

[@AngelDPhotography]

Awwwh! This is the sweetest ever! Makes me want to go make my sign up and go try it.

I know that you didn't originate this idea.. but it is truly amazing. The editing paired with the music is beautiful, and I think it is truly inspirational.

It's not such a bad world after all if all these ppl agreed to free hugs. some even lauched themselves into your arms :)

[@YODIDDLYO]

[@murataruta]

[@xwoman]

what a nice song...easy and light

[@FreeToBe28]

I'm think about doing this on campus during finals week. My finals are either a week earlier or online so I'm available on campus to do this. It's a nice way to spread love during the worst week of college. :D
