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!
What a great experience for Joel then and now that he is grown up. Clay always manages to make people happy even if it's a long time between happenings!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I saw the young boy and his mother! It was very nice of him to tweet Clay and OMC to tweet him back about a memory he will always cherish
Hi, I always loved that video, Clay is wonderful in it but this time I enjoyed looking for Joel as well. I hope he’s still acting.
Thanks, Margaret
I really enjoyed this piece of history involving Joel and Clay. I’ll bet Clay enjoyed it too. What fun! Always a good video to watch. Even more so now. Glad you shared this with us. ❤️ UNCONDITIONAL love for you Clay. God bless America.
