5-Year-Old Boy Who Drove His Parents’ Vehicle Gets Rewarded Again: A Surprise Meeting with Jamie Foxx, Shaquille O'Neal
It looks like Adrian Zamarripa, the 5-year-old boy who stole his parents' vehicle is getting even luckier, instead of being punished with some spanking.
First, he got to experience a joyride in a Lamborghini, his dream car, after a businessman saw the news about him, saying he drove his parents' car to buy the luxury car.
These past couple of days, Zamarripa is in the headlines of different news agencies again after he got to tour Los Angeles where he met Shaquille O'Neal and Jamie Foxx.
What Transpired Earlier On
According to reports, the celebrities surprised the 5-year-old boy by meeting him. O'Neal's surprise meeting with Zamarripa was via a video when the latter visited California.
Earlier this month, the Utah boy was pulled over by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper. According to the five-year-old, he was headed to California to buy a Lamborghini after refusal of her mother to purchase one.
Amusingly, the boy had just a few dollars, $3 to be exact, in his pocket which he said he would use to buy the luxury vehicle. As reported earlier, Zamarripa left home after he argued with his Mother in which he was told she would not buy the Lamborghini for him.
Following the argument, according to Utah Highway Patrol, he decided to take his parents' car and head to California so he'd be the one to buy the Lamborghini.
Encounter with Celebrities
The Zamarripas' story caught the attention of RD Whittington, a celebrity car broker, also the owner of the company, Wires Only. Recently, TMZ reported, he flew the boy and his family to LA and brought them to a Malibu, California dealership that would show him more luxury vehicles "up close."
On his big day which included a rare chance of riding and even revving up some of the high-end and excellent-performing vehicles (as seen on the video uploaded on YouTube, courtesy of KeysAdvice).
One of the highlights of Zamarripa and family's trip was the meeting with Foxx after the boy and Zamarippa pulled up at the Southern Californian mansion of the actor.
The actor excitedly greeted Zamarippa and, according to the report, nearly immediately started to make a deal over the boy, wearing a pair of the retired NBA player's "Shaq Ice Retro Lace sneakers."
Foxx then, called O'Neal to have a video call with the five-year-old. During the call, the actor reportedly made sure to point the camera of his phone to the boy's shoes to show the basketball star "he was wearing his brand."
Zamarippa also got the chance to talk to another celebrity, rapper, Lil Pump via a video call during his visit.
Zamarippa's parents were not charged for their son stealing the car because according to the Webber County District Attorney, there is no evidence or proof of neglect, not to mention, the word is, the child "has lost his vehicle privileges at home" because of his unauthorized trip.
