Have you met Ridiculously Good Looking Surgery Baby?
That’s the title now owned by three-month-old Joey Powling, Jr., after his uncle posted this snap of him post-surgery on Reddit.
Joey was pictured smiling after an open-heart surgery for a congenital heart defect at Boston’s Children’s Hospital just over a week ago, and his delighted mother captured the moment on camera. When her brother Matt saw the picture, he decided it was time for the internet to meet its newest viral sensation.
Matt posted the picture of his nephew on Reddit, and comments immediately likened the baby to a ‘baby Bruce Willis’.
The memes weren’t long following, and here are some of our favourites…
Joey’s family say they are surprised but delighted with the attention, and they are hoping it will raise awareness about Joey’s health condition, Tetralogy of Fallot, (TOF) which is a hole in the heart. What a posterboy!
