A heartbreaking video of a young boy pleading to be left alone by bullies has gone viral and celebrities are offering him their support.

Keaton Jones, of Knoxville, Tennessee, asked his mother, Kimberly Jones, a question that so many people would like the answer too.

"Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What's the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them," Keaton asked his mother through tears.

"It's not okay," he said.

The video, posted by his mom, has garnered more than 330,000 shares on Facebook, even reaching the eyes and ears of several celebrities who have tweeted their support for young Keaton, including Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.

"Keaton, this is so accurate. Why do people do this? I think your sooo cool Keaton! I wanna be your friend ( but srsly) ur freakin awesome [sic]' Brown tweeted.

You got a pal in the Hulk, tweeted Mark Ruffalo, while Captain America's Chris Evans invited Keaton to next years Los Angeles premiere of Avengers: Infinity War.

Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame said, Theyre just jealous because youre so smart & handsome.
