On The Bold and the Beautiful, Bill has been tied up in the messy fallout of Luna’s scheme. He’s not happy that she’s now pregnant after taking advantage of and tricking Will when he was drunk. He even contemplated killing her, although Katie seems to have temporarily gotten him to restrain himself. In the real world, Don Diamont stepped away from the drama to highlight a real-life story of grit and perseverance, and his social media post quickly captured fans’ hearts.
A Walk With a Warrior
On Instagram, Diamont wrote, “Just had a great walk with this @workoutwednesday WARRIOR! His name is Ralph. ‼️ HE’S 98‼️ That’s ‼️98‼️He walks every day. Ralph is my next-door neighbor AND HERO! I walk with him as often as I can. BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT HE HAS HAD HIS CHALLENGES. BUT THE GUY JUST KEEPS ON COMING!!! Last year, he broke his leg badly. That should have done him in. BUT NO. Hospital. Rehab. Assisted living. HOME!”
He continued praising his neighbor: “Walks every day. The toughest guy I know! And sharp as a tac. He is a marvel. So when you’re sitting around whining about not feeling like working out…💙THINK OF RALPH💙. The very definition of…doing a little something is better than doing a lot of nothing. ‼️💪🏼‼️❤️” Diamont included a pic of him and Ralph, who stood tall in a light blue UCLA Basketball shirt, matching sweatpants, and a cap, cane in hand, but smiling brightly, as the actor proudly points to him at his side.
Fans Praise Ralph — and Don
Fans poured into the comments, with one writing, “Amazing!! And that’s so great, you walk with him, Donald.” Another said, “What an inspiration, Ralph!! Being a nurse, I love these stories to share with patients! You GO RALPH ❤️🙌.” One viewer cheered, “Good for him 👏Go Ralph 👏,” while someone else gushed, “Omg.. I love Ralph!!!💪🏼❤️👏.”
Others called him a “ROCK STAR” and “the coolest,” with one adding, “Such an inspiration Ralph is. I couldn’t agree more with you, Don. I know next time I say I can’t do that exercise or walk, I will think of Ralph!” Another praised, “God bless you, Ralph! You have the best neighbor and friend.”
One of the most moving replies came from a fan battling stage 4 bone cancer, who said, “As hard as it is, I will walk!! Thanks for posting such an amazing story.” And another kept it simple and sweet: “Is he single? 😂😂😂😂 Good for him!” (Learn about Diamont’s historic new home.)
