John Boyega is a hero.
The
Star Wars actor has always stressed the importance of giving something back with his newfound fame and this weekend visited children in Royal London Hospital dressed as his
Force Awakens character Finn, so children on the ward could have
Star Wars adventures of their own.
Boyega says he stayed in character throughout the visit, even asking the children to explain to him what a car was.
"This little stormtrooper Daniel had a wonderful wish after seeing
The Force Awakens," he wrote. "Daniel currently lives with a brain tumour and rather than having Finn to himself he wanted Finn to meet the kids at the Royal London Hospital and give them some toys."
