If you grew up watching Blue’s Clues, you probably get a little misty-eyed remembering how much the adventures of Steve and his companions meant to you as a kid. However, when you hear the lead actor recount the story of his favorite interaction with an adult fan, you’ll downright bawl! FAN EXPO posted a beautiful clip from a panel with Steve Burns on social media. In it, the celebrity was asked to share a positive fan encounter with someone who used to watch his show as a child.

“What was your best experience being recognized now by an older fan?” the moderator asked.
Steve had an answer right away, and it totally caught everyone by surprise. Apparently, the actor was signing autographs at a fan convention in Pittsburgh when someone approached him with an unexpected question.
“Do you recognize me?” the stranger asked.
When Steve replied that he didn’t, the Blue’s Clues fan handed him a photo. That’s when the actor realized that he’d met this guy before — through Make-A-Wish.
“I made it, Steve,” the now grown-up recipient said to him.
Now, we all have one more reason to love Steve Burns.
As the star finished telling his story, everyone was blown away by this heartwarming moment. Audience members uttered a collective, “Aww,” when the tale came to its happy ending. According to Steve, he’d wept during the encounter.
“Now we’re friends on Insta,” he added.
This precious video has received two million views. Blue’s Clues fans in the comments were absolutely floored by Steve’s beautiful story. Even Make-A-Wish had something to say on the post!
“Thanks for granting life-changing wishes, Steve,” they wrote. “So glad he got to see you again.”
They say not to meet your heroes, but this apparently doesn’t apply to Steve from Blue’s Clues! It’s so touching to hear how much this fan interaction meant to him (and vice versa).
