Isaac Hanson giving shoes to a homeless man

[AtomicRollingStone]

wow thats real cool !!!!!

[julieC9696]

Are those toms?

[TheDeceivingPig]

He's a good person so don't talk shit about him. He is an angel that god sent down to help people in Africa.

[pnutflea]

Toms FTW

[mbeckyluvz20]

Awww

[leelulove24]

good men

[Katwhiskers12]

i found this touching until he left. i dont mind him leaving, of course. i mind that the whole group followed him. they shouldve stayed and made the man's day a little brighter. he was so happy to receive those shoes. but no, the minute isaac leaves everyone does too....racing to see who gets the best picture. disgusting.

[MissMalice1313]

That was so beautiful and wonderful of Ike. :D As soon as he handed those shoes to the guy I got a giant smile on my face. ^__^

[samn100]

I donated my underwear

[canadiananny86]

What a sweetheart!

[gcriotgirl55]

thats awesome!

[crookedlilb]

AT FIRST I THOT IT WAS CHRISTMAS I SWEAR AFTER WORDS HE SAID HOLA LOLY

[lollie87]

must have been a little intimidating for the guy...you know with all those people standing there...

[maileehawj]

To the people questioning Ike's motives, HOW IS HE DOING THIS FOR PUBLICITY? The only people around him are his FANS, no media, so there is no need for him to look better for the them b/c the fans already see Hanson as good guys. And why is it that whenever someone does something good, we think it's for selfish reasons??? Can't we all be nice once in a while without getting anything in return?? And really, all that matters is that at the end of the day the homeless guy got a pair of new shoes.

[LilTash262]

soo nice

[MrSammyConcepcion]

As if he really meant it!! FU Hanson! This is just a fucking publicity stunt!!!

[alesitavainilleta]

@MrSammyConcepcion XD u r soooooo stupid! how could u say that? did u see any t.v. show camera around? c'mon he was just trying to do something nice cause they r nice people and they want to help! they r not like some famous ppl who really use needed ppl for publicity!!!

[JUKIO01]

he's just a show off.

[maikedinho]

ISAAC, JEWISH?

[kbabyq2005]

@maikedinho They are Christians!!!

[alesitavainilleta]

@maikedinho no he's not!

[kbabyq2005]

This just makes me love them more. Wish more people were like that. I Agree With kaorurain. Awsome

[2milan3]

wow A PAIR OF SHOE DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL PROUD? I GUESS IT WOULD. BUT FUCKING PHOTOGRAPHING HIM LIKE HE IS A ANIMAL IN A ZOO YOU, YOU PEOPLE ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!

[lilibbz]

@2milan3 actually everytime "a walk" takes place, for every person who takes the walk hanson donates a pair of shoes to someone who needs them. 50 walkers- 50 more people who didnt have shoes now do. and thats goes for 5 people to a couple thousand people. wow, must be scum of the earth. but if that makes them scum, then wtf are you? cause ur lower than that.

[lifetimehansonfan]

all the hanson boys are really nice people. they were raised really well and thats great since they became famous when they were really young. and its great that they are bringing up their kids the same way. if only all the famous people were raised that that the world would be a better place.

[alesitavainilleta]

@lifetimehansonfan so true! :)

[noneofusareok]

^^ Isaac

[TheLastSpartan04]

my uncle does this all the time, if he sees someone without shoes or a shirt he will take his off and give it to them

[RushSnakeAndArrows]

really nice attitude :)

im proud of your uncle :)

[bizarrenightmare8694]

Your an ass if you think this was done out of publicty! These three men were raise to respect everyone around them, and to help those who need it. this man needed shoes, he got them. God bless you Ike your family, your brothers families and your parents.

[esperantomusica]

@bizarrenightmare8694  amen to that.screw all the haters

[Jazzabelle85]

I really don't believe this was about publicity. Growing up listening to Hanson, I know they were brought up to be great young men. It's not a strange thing to give a homeless person something (I give food and drinks to homeless people sometimes..). Great vid.

[kaorurain]

the hanson brothers were brought up by their parents to be good men who have morals and values. now they are and i believe it's also their choice to be a better person. its just so sad that some people think that this is for publicity. people should know that not all artists are stupid and jerks. that's why i love hansons. they're not like that.

[HansonDreams]

God bless these guys...

I can never say it enough.

[HansonsBitch]

Isaac rocks.

[itznic333]

thats sweet. i dont doubt his intentions. i think its obvious that they arent doing this stuff for publicity, and its because they really do care. they dont get a lot of publicity, at least not that i've seen, and they definately dont go around looking for it!

[HansonFan7]

i see some people are questioning ike's intentions, and i seriously doubt he was doing this for attention. it's hanson, guys. they care about helping the less fortunate, not about getting publicity. we all know that. he was being a good samaritan and helping out a homeless man. it isn't a question of the man needing new shoes, it is a question of giving him something he can get good use out of.

[jacklover27]

I love me some Hanson, but I have to agree...I think he did it so that people would notice him or something...But, it is really nice of him anyways...

[ihategohip]

not to be mean or anything cuase it was a super sweet thing to do but did the man need the shoes?

[SCCfann]

i was actually wondering the same thing. i mean it was incredibly sweet, and you definitely do not see charity like that anymore nowadays. yet i cant help but wonder if that was just done for publicity. however, i do not know his intension and God bless Isaac for doing it and setting the right example.

[mysterious829]

That was so amazing of him. :)

[casiesilverman]

In B-more? how come I wasn't there now? lol

[crzycutiex]

so...amazing<3

[brahkeen]

this is very sweet. now if only ALL celebs were like these guys. Or i'll stretch that and say if only EVERYONE was like this!

[fudgehead333]

This guy is loaded, why can't he give him money instead?

[SCCfann]

because with money people are more likely to go and waste it, which he might of done already, hence why he is sitting out on the sidewalk. its just like my father, he never gives homeless people money, rather he goes and buys them food.

[hnsnrls21]

I am very proud to be a Hanson fan right now.

[mcgavock2010]

that was the most selfless and sweetest thing i have ever seen. :)

[hansongoo]

that's such a beautiful picture. i love hanson and what there doing so much, it so heart felt

[limewire500]

so are they doing it for the money of just out of they hearts let me know o.k.

[citygal3535]

they are doing it out of their hearts.. not for money.. they are tryin to create awareness for this great cause...

[Mnwlker]

yeah, they get no money out of the walk or selling of Tomsshoes. the walk is completely free and u can walk next to the guys and chat, its awesome. as far as the shoes go...for every pair of tomsshoes u buy, a pair gets donated to a child in africa. citygal explained the rest

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

And Hanson donate a $1 for every person that walks

[limewire500]

so are they doing it for the money of just out of they hearts let me know o.k.

[dwvan10]

How does everyone get off saying hanson is rich? I'm sure they're well off but they don't even have a record label, everything they do comes out of their pockets, booking the venues, the trips they take to Africa, cutting the c.d, promotional fees, they have to pay for all of that now so i'm sure they can't go giving away houses, especially not with their big ass family lol

[St0pTheNoise]

They have a record label, THEIR OWN record label. 3CG =P

[silverpistola]

Isaac Hanson has a good heart. They all do.

[lboughto001]

You know it is not about what he gave to the man what it is about is Isaac acually stopped and gave a minute of his time to that man. That man probably sits on the sidewalk day and night and no one even notice him...So that little gesture of isaac might of made that guy's day.

[icansavetay]

I love Hanson and what they are doing. I just got back from doing 3 walks and they are amazing.

[kittiem]

jimroletter: although that may be true, you don't know how much money they actually have and that is an unfair statement to make. just because Isaac Hanson was willing to give a pair of shoes does not mean he is willing to give a house. Not everyone is even willing to give as much as a dollar to homeless people. When was the last time you gave your shoes to a homeless man? Don't belittle someones generous actions just because they happen to be famous. He chose to give, he didn't have to.

[AlienXCherie]

you haven't watched their pledge have you?

[kittiem]

may i just ask what does watching their pledge have to do with anything? i'm not belittling your comment, i just would appreciate a...better context? i think that is what i am asking for, better context. anyway, i don't know if this pledge comment was specifically left for me, but it was under mine so i assumed so....

so just let me know.

[thejonasfiles]

idk why, but i started crying when i saw this

[shawnalynnh]

aww.. isaacs so cute!!

[jimroletter]

Issac hanson giving away a pair of shoes would be like me giving away a piece of lint in my pocket. He should have given the guy a house. They prob make enough to buy a house everytime they have a concert anyway.

[kaylurdon]

that is so ignorant

[jimroletter]

I know right....a rich guy like that giving away a pair of shoes...what can you do...rich people are just ignorant. If I was in Hanson, I would pay me and my 2 brothers $100k per year, we'd each get a used Honda, and a modest 2 bedroom house. Then I would give all the millions we made directly to charity.

[suzy83]

thats so stupid u obviously know nothing about owning your own busniess it takes alot of money out of there own pokets to keep making music

[1c3barr4g3]

i gave a homlesss 20$ and a pair of jordans

[alliecosta123]

they are so fucking awesome another reason why I LOVE HANSON<3

[amyliz0688]

that is mean. a lot of my friends lost their jobs out of the blue from layoffs or downsizing and they were normal middle class people who are now struggling. you shouldn't say something unless you know the person's story and ike did the right thing. it's called compassion

[mountainheather]

One of the fans actually suggested Isaac do it.  Therefore he really wasn't trying to show off or anything.

[barbidoll0]

@mountainheather still a nice gesture :)

[wicaamoonbaby]

Most homeless people are that way because of an untreated mental illness. Not all, I said most. And our mental health facilities are too over run and crowded to help them. You should know what you are talking about before making such statements. Grow a heart.

[vivierose]

kinda restores faith in humanity... there are still people out there who will reach out to a stranger to make their life a little bit better... I was begining to worry since all we ever hear about anymore is the bad that happens in the world...

[250880j]

Good hearted person. Very sweet.

[pandapouch]

They are awesome. That's great.

[GrievousMustang]

When I get older and have enough money, I want to do this during Christmas 'cause it makes me so happy to see their expressions...

[iheartyoubeepbeep]

thats awesome!!

[txstategurl659]

Aww, Ikey! :]

[livelovelearnlife]

aww how sweet

[metroidfreakazoid]

How sweet!

[hansonxoxo]

*huggles Ike*

[Flight29DownLover]

aw, i love that. (:

i'm about to donate money to TOMS

as a gift for isaac, instead of sending

flowers for a speedy recovery.

[punkrockpearl]

I knew I liked Isaac for a good reason! Revolutionary!

[moonpuppy82]

Aww, that was awesome. I love Hanson for everything like this that they do.

[samantha83]

this is so touching... I love this moment...

[TamaraLove21]

wow.

[Jeffluvs80s]

(part 2 of my comment) I think their hearts are in the right place. Zac seems to be the kindest person on this Earth.

[Jeffluvs80s]

Well... I might sound a little bitter, but all the money that Isaac makes from selling his albums he can afford to give some homeless person his shoes(I can't). The Hanson's are very kind hearted people, They even went over to Africa and helped over there too.

[ITZFuzzy]

aw that's nice.... even though it kinda lost it's appeal when I read that someone told him to do it, but at least he did. What a sweetheart.

[erinlynn]

HEY are you P.C. Chrissy?

[ITZFuzzy]

shoot I didn't even see this... yes! OMG ERIN!!!!

[purrrgatory]

I was on the walk and was hoping one of the guys would stop and talk to this man. I'm so glad Ike did what he did! <3

[silvrstar34]

good, i'm glad someone caught this on video, i was right there but i didn't have a camera with me....he's so sweet, i love isaac :)

[qtpa2tjess]

Such a great moment...

and I'm in that video!

[mmmbopgirl19]

it dosent matter he at least gave that man his shoes

[mmmbopgirl19]

ok i cried god they are so kind harted

[adelecaroline]

Somebody told him to do it though. He walked past the guy at first.

[Sammmm39]

haha! thats my mom in there!

[SugarAmes144]

Good going Isaac! But..even more so...good going Hillary for telling Isaac to do it! ;)

[PisceanBeautyy]

Hey, I am from Baltimore. Do you know what street(s) they walked along?

[mountainheather]

from the Sonar club on East Saratoga down a street (Guilford maybe) towards the inner harbor, on part of Pratt st I think, then back up another street back to Sonar. Everyone left stickers along the path, so if you see red circles with the crosswalk man on them that's where the walk went! :)

[adelecaroline]

Oh that's so sweet!

[bugwandis]

aw, that's so cuuute

[outlawserenade]

<3 teH Isaac. Thank goodness you managed to catch this on vid. This vid. Is love. Period.

[hamitupagain]

That is KILLER!!!!!
