Pint-sized Downie goes viral

TRENTON – Two-year-old Bentley knows he’s gone viral, even if he isn’t quite sure what that means. The little boy from Trenton, Ont., has captivated Internet audiences across the country after his mother decided to dress him up as Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie for Halloween. “If you ask him who he’s being for Halloween, he’ll say Gord Downie. We ask him who Gord Downie is, he’ll say a singer. We say for who? And he says ‘the Hippos,”’ Bentley’s mother Shannon White said with a laugh. “He’s halfway there. He shakes his little tush and can bop around to the music but he doesn’t fully understand what’s taking place.” Bentley’s costume has the tot imitating Downie’s look from the Tragically Hip’s recent cross-country tour.
