Olivia Wilde has praised a group of kind strangers, who helped her while her son was having a tantrum.
The actress has revealed that her five-year-old son Otis was having a ‘”level 10, defcon” meltdown at a busy restaurant when two people offered to help her.
Olivia tweeted: “Couple days ago my kid was having a level 10, defcon 1, couldn’t-control-his-body meltdown at a restaurant. It happens.”
“Poor guy was hungry as hell and overwhelmed. I was holding four bags and my 2 yr old. It was chaos.”

She continued: “The place was packed and we were very much on display. I was in way over my head. I stayed calm but I was kind of crumbling inside.”
“In the midst of the madness, 2 strangers, a young man and woman, approached and asked if they could help.”
“I swallowed my pride and said yes, please, and they walked with us, placed my stuff into my trunk, and even put my daughter in her car seat, while I tried to soothe my son. I thanked them and they said, ‘hey no problem. We all have days like this.'”
The actress added: “I’m so moved by this simple act of kindness. Their generosity profoundly effected my (and my kids’) reality that day. I can’t wait to do this for someone else. Humans are good. We can’t forget that.”
