Milford Resident & Pillow Fighting Firefighter Is Back at It

MILFORD, MA- The viral sensation formerly known as 'Buddy' the pillow-fighting elf has traded in his elf ears for a bow and arrow and angel's wings.

Milford's own Brendan Edwards hit the streets of Boston once again for some pillow-fighting fun. This time, the firefighter decided to spread some love in honor of Valentine's Day and dressed up as Cupid.

Donning a flesh colored morph suit (complete with painted on abs and muscles), a diaper, angel's wings, a bow and arrow and of course, a pillow, Edwards challenged people in Boston's Faneuil Hall to a pillow fight. Edwards joked with participants that they'd been hit with "cupid's pillow".

Edwards went a step further with his bit and offer candies to people, anyone who accepted would get a signs on their backs that read "Ask me out, I'm single" signed by Cupid.

Within the first three hours of it being posted, the video racked up over 300 views and is still climbing. Edwards went viral with his pillow fighting videos in December, dressed as Buddy the Elf from the hit movie Elf.

The first video brought Edwards into the spotlight and had over 300,000 views, prompting Edwards to make a sequel video with his girlfriend Hayley O’Loughlin.

Edwards said while he was out dressed as cupid some people recognized him from his previous videos. "A lot of people were like, 'Hey you're Buddy!' and I'd be like 'No I'm Cupid," Edwards said.

Pillow fighting fans should be on the look out for a St. Patrick's Day themed video coming in March. Until the, Edwards is happy to spread the love with his trusty pillow.
