British-born Nigerian Star Wars actor, John
Boyega, 24, delivered toys to sick children at the
Royal London Hospital. Among the children he
visited was Daniel Bell, from Ormskirk. 5-year-
old Daniel who has been living with a brain
tumour said he wished he could hand out
presents to children alongside his favourite film
character. See more photos after the cut...
The Star Wars actor said he was glad at the
chance to grant the request. He also taught
Daniel how to use a lightsaber as part of the
special treat, organised by Rays of Sunshine
Children's Charity.
The Bafta-winning actor described Daniel as "an
amazing and inspirational boy".
"When I heard about Daniel's wish to meet Finn,
I jumped at the chance to make it come true. It
was fantastic to be a part of his very special
wish with Rays of Sunshine."
It was also great to meet the children at The
Royal London Hospital and be a part of
something so positive." he added.
Daniel's mum Rosalind said the meeting was
something money could not buy.
"To see Daniel smile like that without a care in
the world after everything he's been through,
knowing how much time and effort Rays of
Sunshine have put in to his wish and that John
Boyega gave his time to make it come true, is
priceless. These things can't be bought and
really do mean the world"
