For those not familiar with Bondi Rescue, the show follows the work of several professional lifeguards on Bondi Beach, Australia.

The programme also has a YouTube channel where they post rescue highlights as well as full episodes of earlier seasons.

As it turns out, the show has an avid fan in the form of a young boy from Singapore.

Recalling the interaction with the boy, the lifeguard said:

“He just gave me the biggest hug and started bawling his eyes out. I didn’t really know how to take it.”

He also shared that such incidents do not happen very often.

“That was pretty special, knowing that I made an impact on someone’s life like that,” added the lifeguard.

Throughout the video, the boy can be seen rubbing his eyes and actively avoiding eye contact — when he’s not busy hugging his idol.
