The fact that he’s an anti bullying ambassador as well is the cherry on top

[@mrwetcloth4571]

Who isn't anti bully

[@Mr_Penguins_Pet_Human]

@@mrwetcloth4571Yes but words mean nothing without action. The point is there's a big difference between being anti something and actually going out and actively doing something to reduce or prevent it like an ambassado does. Everyone hates cancer but how many people actively fund raise or do volunteer work to help? An anti bullying ambassador isn't just saying the words, it beens he taking real action against it.

[@lollol-kz8vc]

i have a pair of the trainers he is wearing

[@shona5512]

@uncle I think that's a reason why he takes on those type of roles. Like in Detroit, he made a very unsettling, and to some, a terrifying depiction of a bully of the highest degree.. He probably believes that if he can make a lasting impression with an excellent portrayal of a despicable character, then it might make others think twice about their attitude towards other people.
