I think Little Darth Vader who starred in the Volkswagen commercial won all of our hearts on Super Bowl Sunday (which was, by far, the best commercial of Super Bowl XLV! We’re already in love with this tiny “force”, but this little miracle has an amazing story of his own!

At age 6, Max Page is a cast member of “The Young and the Restless“, but that’s not what makes this little guy so special.

At 4 months old, Max was diagnosed with a children’s congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. As an infant, his parents took him to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for treatment, and he now has a positive prognosis for life!

Check out more of Max Page’s story at We are Children’s.

And just because you need another heart melting giggle today:

Interesting fact – according to Max’s IMDB Bio:

Played a young pint sized Darth Vader in the leaked Volkswagen Passat Superbowl Commercial that went viral on You Tube 4 days before the Superbowl. The video received over 12 million views in four days and many speculated it was a girl under the mask. Max’s uncle a Radio Dj out of Virginia confirmed Max appeared in the commercial as well as many media outlets in the days the video went extremely viral.

I love Little Darth Vader from the Volkswagen commercial!  I hope they bring him back for more!
