DC fans are taking quite nicely to Zachary Levi's Shazam!, a mix of humor and action that sits well with just about every age group. In addition to hitting it big at the box office, Shazam is also having an effect on those who have been bullied and are still being bullied, like the story that mother Christina Giannelli shared on social media. She took her son to see Shazam! and couldn't have been more thrilled at his response to it, providing smiles and hope after a rough year.
"My son just got back from seeing #shazam," Giannelli wrote on Twitter. "Seeing him so happy makes me want to cry. It?s been a rough year for him. He?s homeschooling after being bullied. He?s in therapy now and being able to tell him this superhero @ZacharyLevi has also been and struggled is huge. Thank you."
Levi was touched by Giannelli's story and responded "My heart is bursting with love right now for your little man. I was bullied a lot when I was a kid, & wish homeschool was an option for me at many points along the way. Tell him I?m standing with him, and to remember that bullies are just hurt and confused in their own life.
