FLORENCE, Alabama -- The internet has already awarded him ‘Uncle of the Year.’

But now we know who he really is!

Meet Jesse Frank Nagy. He’s the guy who found out his niece was embarrassed to wear her princess gown to the movie theater, so he decided to wear one with her.



The photo, posted Sunday, had been shared more than 11-hundred times by Tuesday morning when Nagy found himself appearing live on Good Morning America.



According to ABC News a movie theater employee posted a photo of theNagy and his niece on reddit while they were inside the theater watching Cinderella.

“I had no idea," he said. "It wasn’t until midway through the movie by phone kept ringing with people texting asking if I was at a theater in Alabama. I'm not even subscribed to these sites so I said 'what the heck is going on?'"


In the comments threads where the photo has been posted other guys are now posting photos of themselves wearing costumes to accompany their daughters or nieces.
