For the record, Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had he me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch.
The video touched a nerve with so many people as it went viral around the world, and by last night it had come to the attention of Captain America actor Chris Evans.

As yesterday continued on, more and more legendary names were publicly supporting him – like this message from Mark Hamill

Eva Longoria, Snoop Dogg and Nickelback all added their names to the list of people supporting him
