The actor was reportedly joined by his biggest fan, Daniel Bell (5) who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and who had always wished to see Boyega's 'Star Wars' character, Finn. Both of them, alongside a young girl delivered toys to multiple kids at the hospital.
"Thank you so so much Rays of Sunshine and John Boyega for granting Daniel's wish to meet Finn and take toys to the hospital. It was just amazing, I have no words! Daniel is still totally overwhelmed, I have never seen him so happy," Daniel's mom, Rosalind, wrote on Facebook Saturday.
As to why Boyega jumped at the opportunity to give back, he said, "When I heard about Daniel's wish to meet Finn, I jumped at the chance to make it come true," the 23-year-old told Belfast Telegraph. "It was fantastic to be a part of his very special wish with Rays of Sunshine."
He added, "It was also great to meet the children at The Royal London Hospital and be a part of something so positive."
It's always great to see our favourite stars do something meaningful and sweet for our children, right!?
