Captain America- otherwise known as Chris Evans and other Avenger’s cast, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Tom Holland took time to pay tribute to a real-life hero.
That hero is a six-year-old Bridger Walker of Cheyenne, Wyoming. His heroic deed went viral after his Aunt Nikki Walker shared the story on Instagram and tagged the Avengers stars, who Bridger idolises.
Bridger came between a dog and his sister and sustained several bites on his cheek and head before he got himself and his sister out of danger, with his injuries requiring two hours of surgery and some 90 stitches.
The Walker siblings had gone over to a neighbor’s house and one of their dogs came at Bridger’s sister. Bridger jumped in between in order to save his little sister. He later told his parents, “if someone had to die, I thought it should be me.”
Moved by his heroic deed Hemsworth, Evans, Ruffalo, Holland, and Jeremy Renner sent him warm wishes and inducted him as part of the Avengers. Evans even sent him Captain America’s costume and the shield along with an encouraging video message.
His aunt as been updating social media about Bridger’s progress and the number of celebrities that have reached out to Bridger to praise him. Another post by Nikki Walker shows Bridger dressed in Spider-Man costume and chatting on video call with Tom Holland who plays the superhero on screen.
While Bridger is unable to fully smile due to his injuries, the little boy has been very happy with all the love and adulation that has come his way. Many offered financial assistance to his parents who have appealed them to donate to certain charities instead.
