Jack Black goes viral for heartwarming moment with Love On The Spectrum star

A video of Jack Black has gone viral for the heartwarming moment between him and one of the stars from Love On The Spectrum.

In an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show that aired on Thursday, April 3, the self-proclaimed biggest fan of Jack Black in the world, Tanner Smith of the hit Netflix series, received a wonderful surprise.

When he was chatting with Clarkson on her eponymous talk show, she brought up how he previously received a video from Black, 55, in which he promised to meet him in person ‘someday soon.’

The 25-year-old reality star said he remembered watching the video on her show and said he hoped to meet the A Minecraft Movie star — whose film broke box office records with its opening week — sometime in the next six years. 

He revealed to the singer and talk show host about how he had a goal to meet Black when he turned age 31. 

Then, Clarkson told Tanner that the Kung Fu Panda voice actor had sent him a second video with an unexpected ending.

‘What’s up, Tanner? Jack Black here! I still cannot wait to meet you in person, but I’m on the road with A Minecraft movie,’ Black said in the touching clip. 

‘But luckily, I have insane ninja kung fu powers, which means I can come through these doors and I’m gonna see you right now when I come through these doors!’

When Tanner realized that Black had just burst through the stage doors, he jumped off of the couch and ran straight to Black for a big hug. 

‘Jack, it’s you! Jack, I’m so glad I finally get to meet you! Jack, I’m your biggest fan ’cause you’re a great actor and a great singer,’ the Clemson University graduate told his idol. 

Then, they sat down on the couch with one arm around each other. 

At one point, the pair even made plans to go workout together after Tanner complimented Black. 

He told the star about how he is ‘handsome’ and ‘strong,’ to which the actor said he had been exercising. ‘You’re so handsome. You’re looking good, Jack,’ he told Black earnestly.

‘I do work out a little bit. We should do some weightlifting together. You can teach me some tips.’
