John Boyega spreads some ‘Star Wars’ spirit at a kids hospital in London
On the request of a 5-year-old fan, Star Wars actor, John Boyega visited Royal London Hospital and gave out toys from the franchise. Dressed as Finn, Boyega stayed in character as he answered questions of his tiny fan, Daniel.
23-year-old Star Wars actor, John Boyega dressed up as Finn from 'The Force Awakens' while spreading cheer and happiness among unwell children as he delivered toys on behalf of the Rays of Sunshine children's charity, for sick children at The Royal London Hospital.
Boyega was joined in this mission by a very special fan, tiny 5-year-old Daniel Bell, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and wished to meet Boyega's 'Star Wars' character.
This little stormtrooper Daniel had a wonderful wish after seeing 'The Force Awakens'. Daniel currently lives with a brain tumour and rather than having Finn all to himself he wanted Finn to meet the kids at the Royal London hospital and give them some toys.
Boyega gushed about this truly humbling experience, “I stayed in character while I was with this brave boy asking him what a car was. He taught Finn about everything earth related! Really thankful for the opportunity this child granted me and I'm just humbled!”
A young girl dressed in as Rey joined them while delivering the toys to multiple kids at the hospital. “I hope I played a little part in making you smile young stormtrooper," Boyega captioned the picture collage featuring him and Bell after the event.
