A young boy's emotional video calling out his school bullies has inspired a wave of love and support from some of the biggest stars in the world.

Keaton Jones, from Knoxville, Tennessee, went viral over the weekend after his mother Kimberly Jones posted a heartbreaking video of the youngster on her Facebook page Friday. The boy's mother had just picked up a distraught Keaton from school after being targeted by bullies.

"Just out of curiosity, why do they bully?" Keaton asks in the moving clip, which has been viewed nearly 20 million times. "What's the point of it? Why do they find joy in taking innocent people and find a way to be mean to them? It's not OK."
