'They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends. It's not okay': Heartbreaking video of a young US boy pleading to be left alone by bullies goes viral as celebrities offer him their support (19 Pics)

DANA White has stirred things up on social media plenty of times. But he’s never seen a reaction like this.

The UFC boss has been floored by the response he’s seen since sharing a video of Keaton Jones, a young boy who spoke out in gut-wrenching fashion against the bullying he’s suffering at a Tennessee school.

The vision, which shows Keaton with tears streaming down his face as he talks about being too scared to go to lunch, is incredibly moving.

“Why do they bully? What’s the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It’s not OK,” Keaton says.

“They made fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends. (They) poured milk on me and put ham down my clothes, threw bread at me.

“I don’t like that they do it to me and I sure don’t like that they do it to other people because it’s not OK. Some people are different, they don’t need to be criticised about it. It’s not their fault.

“But if you are made fun of, don’t let it bother you ... it’s hard but it will probably get better one day.”

Keaton (center with his sisters), of Tennessee, asked his mother, Kimberly Jones (left), a question that so many people would like the answer too: 'Just out of curiosity, why do they bully?'

The original video, posted by Keaton’s mother on Facebook, has been viewed more than 18 million times.

“For the record, Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had he me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch,” Kimberly Jones wrote. “My kids are by no stretch perfect & at home, he’s as all boy as they come, but by all accounts he’s good at school. Talk to your kids ... We all know how it feels to want to belong, but only a select few know how it really feels not to belong anywhere.”

The vision struck a nerve with notable figures across the sports world, including two UFC champions.

“I want you to know, bud, you’ve got friends in the UFC,” light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier said. “Regardless of how dark it looks and how sad you may become, know that people are your friend and willing to stand with you.”

“This video really touched my heart,” added welterweight champ Tyron Woodley. “It’s not wrong to be different. We all are beautifully and wonderfully made.

“Just remember, man, you one of a kind. God didn’t make no mistakes. Your life is going to have a purpose, a way you can reach and inspire someone else through all the adversity you face.”

In the video, Keaton said it's not just him, but others are bullied by kids at school. 'I don't like that they do it to me and I for sure don't like that they do it to other people because it's not okay,' he told his mother. Keaton is pictured with his mom and two sisters

There was also an outpouring of support — and incredible offers — from the entertainment world as Keaton went from bullied teen to one of the most popular kids on the internet.

Actor Chris Evans, AKA Captain America, invited Keaton to attend the premiere of the Avengers in Los Angeles.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and Suits star Patrick J. Adams also gave Keaton a shout out.

After seeing the video the Tennessee college football team pledged they would be visiting the local school to spend the day with Jones.

The teams quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was one of the first players to reach out and today, got the opportunity to meet and spend some time with the inspirational youngster.

Guarantano even called Jones the “little brother I always wanted”.
