Jim Cummings Uses Iconic Voice to Soothe Grandson, Captivating Fans Online
Legendary voice actor Jim Cummings, celebrated for his work on over 600 cartoon characters, including Winnie the Pooh, has recently charmed fans by using his iconic voice to comfort his infant grandson. Cummings took to Instagram on June 9, posting a heartwarming video that quickly amassed over 1 million likes.
In the clip, Cummings lovingly cradles his grandson while reciting the beloved Pooh quote: “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think,” all in the endearing voice of the classic character. He caps off the affirmation with a sweet addition, “And cute as a button!”
The touching moment resonated deeply with Pooh fans across social media. Commenters expressed their gratitude and nostalgia, with responses like, “This healed me. Thank you,” and “I’m crying. (Don’t Stop.)” Many expressed how the video transported them back to childhood, reinforcing the emotional impact of Cummings’ beloved characters.
This was not the first glimpse into their delightful interactions; Cummings had previously shared a video on June 1, where he playfully engaged with his grandson under a Winnie the Pooh blanket. Using Pooh’s voice, he inquired about the baby’s tiny fist, switching to the energetic Tigger voice with a playful warning.
In addition to charming his family, Cummings hasn’t shied away from showcasing his range by using his talent for villainous characters as well. In a May 26 post, he humorously attempted to sing as Scar from "The Lion King," only to be playfully interrupted.
With Jim Cummings as his grandfather, it appears every visit is destined to be a whimsical adventure!
