Candid photo of former US VP Joe Biden with a homeless man goes viral
A photo of former US Vice President Joe Biden chatting with a homeless has sparked frenzy online.
Caleb Baca took the photo outside a movie theatre in Washington.
The image went viral after D.C. businessman Paul Equale shared it on Facebook.
In a post on the social media site, Equale wrote: "Character is about what you do when no one is watching."
In the photo, Biden can be seen handing the man a note. "I'm not exactly sure what he gave the homeless man, but he appeared to write something down on a piece of paper inside the movie theater, which he then proceeded to give the homeless man outside," Baca told FOX 5 in Washington.
Here are some of the reactions to the photo.

And this is why, despite his age, @JoeBiden would make a formidable candidate for Democrats. He would appeal to people who want to see a little genuine empathy and humanity brought back to the Oval Office. Besides, it’s not like Trump is a spring chicken with a head full of hair. https://t.co/IZwW40exWy

Vice President Joe Biden was spotted speaking with a homeless man after taking his granddaughter to the movies in Georgetown the other day. You can’t buy class, compassion and decency, it’s instilled within one’s soul. ðŸ'™ pic.twitter.com/MFs14I0sbN

When he thought no one was watching, Trump cheated on every one of his three wives.

Look at how he treats those less fortunate, with no expectation of fanfare.

Someone sent @politico a paparazzi shot of @JoeBiden talking with a homeless man outside a movie theater. Still a kind, decent man even when he thinks no one is looking. https://t.co/9dKOPjZwTJ

Many speculate he is considering to run for president in 2020.
