See Robert Downey Jr. Present A Bionic IRON MAN Arm to a One-Armed Fan

This might be the coolest thing you'll see all day.

A young boy named Alex was born with a partially developed right arm, and in this new video (via ScreenCrush), Robert Downey Jr. presents him with a bionic Iron Man arm that looks exactly like the one RDJ wears in the movies. The arm was designed by a college student named Albert Manero, who works with 3D printers in order to make prosthetic limbs for kids in need.

Downey goes into Tony Stark mode as soon as he meets Alex, dropping little quips and one-liners while the kid stays remarkably composed for someone who's clearly an Iron Man fan. Seeing stuff like this is so awesome, and it put a huge smile on my face. Props to Downey for taking the time to make Alex's day, and props to Manero for making something that will actually help improve Alex's day-to-day life...with some style, we might add. That new arm goes really well with that bowtie.

Robert Downey Jr. and Albert Manero, a #CollectiveProject student who founded Limbitless, surprised a very special child with a new bionic 3D printed arm at no cost to the family.
