I met Henry once several years ago. What a sweet man. I asked if I could give him a hug, he took a small step back and opened his arms wide as if to say "come on in." It was a wonderful moment for this 70's kid to hug The Fonz.

[@ilexevergreen5405]

Aww ♡

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

He looks like he gives the best hugs!

[@PADS62]

WOW! I'm Really happy for you that you got to hug the Fonz!! I'm Also SOOO Jealous that I'd like to scratch your eyes out!!!! BAAAHAHAAAHAHAAAHAAAAA But really, I am happy for you! 😊 I'm a 70s kid also & watched 'Happy Days' as much as I could! I even had a Fonzy lunchbox. I wish my mom or I had had the brains to hang on to it. 😫

[@BLT001]

In every interview, he really does come off as the sweetest guy. Thanks for confirming it! This fellow 70's kid is jealous, Tom.

[@deborahfreedman333]

I used to live in North Hollywood, and would occasionally come into contact with him in synagogue, or a local restaurant. He was always a pleasant, kind person, even though we were nobody computer programmers. I was lucky enough to be in synagogue the day he named his baby daughter, and I never saw a person as happy and proud as he was that day. He also was very generous, and the oneg shabbat was amazing.

[@Pete_Finch]

I don't know why Henry saying "my son in law gave my this jacket" so randomly and proudly made me laugh out loud

[@berniezander]

I work in the film business in NYC and had the pleasure of working on a job with Henry. He was always charming as he was in this appearance, and a highlight was when he wanted to join a few of us for lunch at a local pizza place. Very rare for 'Hollywood" types, to be such a humble and accessible person.

[@JSWIFTONDAMIC]

I have an unrelated question, but I hope you could help me. What is the best agency to get into auditions or background casting to get my sag card? Do I need to know someone? Or is it possible to show up to any casting? Thanks for your time

@@JSWIFTONDAMIC I work on the technical side, and I really don't know that kind of info, sorry.

[@JSWIFTONDAMIC]

@@berniezander Oh,I understand. I mean, I been trying to pursue this for a little bit. I mean, since you are on the industry, is there anybody you would know that would have additional information that I am interested in? I'm taking all opportunities that present themselves, to get in somehow. Thanks in advance

I worked as a set medic for the movie "The Waterboy", Winkler is one of the most loved and loving people on the planet.

[@PADS62]

I completely believe you! He seems like an absolutely wonderful person to just hang out with! 😊🥰❤

[@jeffsilverman6104]

I love watching Henry in interviews. He is a pleasure of a man whose shine will never tarnish, an American icon of class and comedy.

[@v66catta84]

His smile still lights up the room. Absolute legend!

[@jeanninemurray6539]

We heard Henry Winkler speak about his learning struggles when my family attended a Kiwanis convention in Denver (pretty sure) in or around 2000. My daughter was 14 or 15. When the presentation was over and we were all leaving, Mr. Winkler exited through the same door. On impulse, my daughter turned and approached him. They had a few words and as she started to return in our direction he gave her a little kiss on the forehead. OH MY! Such a small but sweet gesture. She lit up like the Rockfeller Christmas tree! She's in her mid30s now. Still remembers when "Fonzie" kissed her.

[@tastewithjase]

Henry Winkler replied to a tweet of mine once. It made my year. He's the Fonz AND the nicest guy in the world.

[@garytheo]

What a lovable happy guy. Truly one of the greats.

And everyday would be "Happy days" lol

[@simpaticode]

He truly seems like a real mensch.

[@robertdraper5782]

If Henry Winkler and Keanu Reeves did a movie together we would reach peek common decency and possibly save the world.

[@angiesunnie8469]

He is a true treasure. I have I think 3 autographs total and one of them is from Henry from when he was playing the Fonz and I was in middle school. I still treasure it.

He hasn't lost one bit of cool. And has only got even more lovable.

[@JohnBarrylizard]

My family and I ran into him in Sausalito, California. He's a very intelligent and sweet gentleman.

[@ollieox9181]

I really, really, really wish Henry would reprise his role as Barry Zuckerkorn - the most hopelessly inept lawyer in history - in a spin-off of Arrested Development. It would work.

[@Drewhink]

What about a Barry Zuckerkorn and Saul Goodman law firm?

[@FrankBenlin]

One of the biggest mistake FOX has ever made.

[@sujitbedi]

He and Happy Days were a clear part of my childhood growing up. Still vividly remember watching it every Tuesday night as a long past weekly family time! He has not lost his charm!
