The ‘YAH Know’ artist was left in a difficult position when he was travelling with his daughter over the weekend. And, it was Martin Short who came to their aid – unexpectedly.
Chance and his daughter, Kensli, were not ticketed to sit together on the plane they were catching. However, the Only Murders In The Building actor was able to help them with that and offered to give up his own seat so the seven-year-old and her father could fly together. And, the story hasn’t gone unnoticed by Hollywood after Chance made the story public.
So I just got on this plane with my daughter, and found out our seats weren’t next to each other. I really ain’t wanna inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats, but before I could say anything this kind older gentleman offered his seat to Kensli so we could sit together.… https://t.co/EPC5cqFfiy pic.twitter.com/2vFumtpVLa
