Robert Downey Jr promised the young lad a gift on his next birthday and asked him to call him on his special day saying that a promise beats a shield taking a jibe at his friend Captain America. Tom Holland on the other hand offered Bridger to visit the set of his upcoming Spider-Man 3 movie and also praised the boy for the bravery he displayed while saving his sister. Chris Evans also praised the boy for his brave act and said that his sister is lucky to have a big brother like him.

Mark Ruffalo praised the courage of six-year-old and said that he ‘admires’ it. "Dear Bridger, I just read about what happened to you and I wanted to reach out to say this... People who put the well beings of others in front of themselves are the most heroic and thoughtful people I know. I truly respect and admire your courage and your heart. Real courage isn’t dominating people or fighting against people or walking around like a tough guy. Real courage is knowing what is right to do and doing it even when it might end up hurting you somehow. You are more of a man than many, many I have seen or known. With Admiration...Mark Ruffalo," the Hulk actor said.
