With the help of TikTok, a FedEx worker has reached Tony Hawk after posting a video asking the pro skater to respond to a young fan.

"I didn't expect Tony Hawk to respond," the driver, Mikail Farrar, who's dad to 12-year-old Victoria, told "Good Morning America." "Money and fame didn't change him whatsoever. He jumped all over this and responded so quick."

"I can't say enough about Tony Hawk," he added.
