Alex Pereira breaks character
Alex Pereira has finally broken his character of ‘Stoneface’ and is seen shading tears. He recently dropped a video on his official YouTube where he went to a cancer hospital in Australia and met some of his fans diagnosed with cancer, greeted them, and motivated them.
In the video, a young fan suffering from cancer asked Alex Pereria if he could shave his head. Alex Pereira, being the ultimate good guy, said yes while shaving the hair of the young fan who says he is training in martial arts and Alex Pereira is one of his idols. Meanwhile, Alex was seen as very emotional, and he broke into tears, expressing his feelings about the fan. Poatan later hugged the extremely sad fan.
