People were left with ‘goosebumps’ after a homeless man’s incredible transformation which left him looking ’20 years younger’ – and it’s all because of one bloke’s kind gesture
A homeless man is unrecognisable after his incredible transformation which left him looking ’20 years younger’. His makeover was so life-changing which left people online with ‘goosebumps’ – and it’s all thanks to one stranger.
Lee Hutchinson, who makes videos to help people, spark change, and prove that even the smallest actions can create a massive impact, left the internet in tears after his sweet act of kindness. The magician, who boasts 4.9million Instagram followers, shared a clip where he approached a rough sleeper and changed his life within seconds. At the top of the video, it read: “POV: Beautiful transformation incoming.”
Meanwhile, the caption of the clip, which scooped 179,000 likes and 5,700 comments, read: “He looks like a new person! Changing one life today…”
In the clip, he approaches the homeless man and gives him a chair to sit on as he works his magic. He begins by removing his grey top and completely cutting his hair before shaving his beard.
Next he grabs a bucket of soap and water as he begins scrubbing him from head-to-toe. He then gives him a towel as the pair smile at each other.
Finally he gives the man a new wardrobe which consists of a pair of leather trainers, grey trousers, white top and overshirt.
As the video concludes, the man looks at himself in the mirror and is completely floored by his transformation. For his last kind gesture, Lee takes him for a meal.
Many people were amazed at Lee’s kind gesture as social media users flooded the comments section. One person wrote: “Love this. Even just starting in our hometowns with something like this is amazing.
Another added: “Goosebumps! What an unbelievable transformation. That man looks 20 years younger and his eyes are shining. Bless you.”
Born and raised in Ireland, Lee’s journey started with magic. For years he worked as a magician before realising the real magic isn’t in the tricks, it’s “how you make someone feel”.
For a number of years, Lee has travelled the world where he’s met incredible people, all while raising awareness about homelessness and world hunger.
During his journey, he met Josh who also had a deep passion for helping people. And together, they founded The Butterfly Effect of Kindness.
Over on their website, the pair promise with every purchase, they’ll fund 40 meals through their giving partners, “proving that small choices create massive impact”.
