On January 22, 2016, a young man contacted Clay with an amazing story that he told in 4 tweets. I am putting the 4 tweets together:
When I was 4, I turned down an audition that we flew out to California for because I didn’t want to say that I loved hot wheels.
Purely by coincidence, walking down Hollywood Boulevard later that day. We came across the set for a Clay Aiken music video.
He chose me to be in his video without even knowing I was an actor. He hung out with us for a while on set and in between shots.
And that’s the story of how me and my mom had our 3 seconds of fame with @clayaiken
Clay answered Joel:
@kevinchiladaq You make me feel so old! Ha ha. But you’re great in the video and I’m so glad you were a part of it!
@clayaiken thank you! I’ll definitely never forget that day!
Lets watch and see if we can see Joel in the video!!
WOW…It’s been a long time since I watched this video! It’s still fun!
No doubt that Clay has changed someone's life, he surely has changed mine! Thank you, CANN for the inspirational story and the video!
