2006 GMA Father's Day Special--Apolo and Yuki

[Sa9783M]

I'm watching this clip a little teary eyed while at the same time thinking Damn Apolo is HOT!

[hopawaylittlebunny]

a great example of a father-son relationship that can prosper after a low point. I love Apolo and Yuki's relationship, it's so sweet.

[Wunderfullgally]

he looked very Asian as a child and now looks more white now that he's older.

[wonphi]

I love how is dad told his son to go to an isolated nature ground to meditate (reflect on the future and find yourself).

That's some Asian tradition right there!

[kbw1970]

Wow, this is totally heartwarming! I've been down that road myself.

[pinkliveable]

THIS IS TOUCHING.

love apolo and yuki.

[Lillyann2498]

Whoa I didn't realize how sad yet happy his life really was.....

[brownie8489]

THIS IS SO PRECIOUS!

[lmartins0327]

aww! he was adorable! and yet so vicious to his father!!!

[xxloveDisxx]

this is touching !

[hannahhify]

I love Apolo and his dad! theyre both good role models and theyve worked so hard and im so proud of them! oh yea i wish my dad could do my hair! that is soo cuute!!:)

[gtownballa30]

That mother is stupid...She looks back now at her son and sees him as one of the best speed skaters...she sucks!

[geewayislovesucka]

Does Apolo speak Japanese?

[marieroo]

@geewayislovesucka in a recent tweet, apolo said he was on the plane with a bunch of japanese school kids, but he had no idea what they were saying, but he expressed that he wished he kept learning as a kid. :/

[okinawa1995]

Ann Curry from Today show (NBC) is half

Japanese. I don't know if you call her famous, but certainly well known.

[jazminblack101]

@FernandaReis13 what?

[tulipsxw2]

Also for a single dad, I think Yuki sounds like a good father. Everybody in their teenage years are quite rebellious but for Yuki to be able to control his son and influence him like that is quite impressive.

And yeah, I agree, he looked kinda funny/awkward/bad as a teen! I'm pretty sure he was a cutie pie during his baby years!

[pnglizzie]

i think so too,

i mean he had to do his best and he wanted

to lead him in the right path.

very proud father!

[bluefuzzypeach]

lol he looks so funny when he was a kid, no offense. awkward teenage years i presume.

[MJforever71]

Oh he is just so fine!

[cactus815]

I'd love to have a dad who can style my hair! lol

[tulipsxw2]

LOL same here. I would never have to pay money to get a hair cut for the first 40 years of my life! LOL does he speak Japanese?

[dullie33]

Teens are so hard headed but look where Appolo is today because he listened

[FernandaReis13]

when he was a baby, he looked like more Japanese than now!

He's hot hot hot!

[blueberryxmuffins]

baby apolo... so cute : )

[itachizlastresort]

how old was he when he was left in the cottage?

[megumi1971]

@itachizlastresort

I think he has to be around 16 or something.

[jmarie2021]

Thats so sweet. I cant believe Apolo was once a trouble child. He seems like hes come a long way since then.

[SeattleLover2010]

Ohh. my baby looks happy and sad...he speaks! 5 stars for a wonderfull father and wonderfull son!
