John Boyega Visited Children’s Hospital Dressed as Finn, and Is Officially The Best Human
The Force is certainly strong with this story. Just when you thought John Boyega (who played Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens) couldn’t get any cooler, he stole our hearts all over again. Earlier this week, the dashing actor, donning his Finn costume, stopped by The Royal London Hospital with the nonprofit, Rays of Sunshine, to pass out The Force Awakens toys to the patients. The best part? He stayed in character the whole time, and documented the experience on his instagram account.
The description for the above image detailed the reason for Boyega’s trip:
“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 to himself he wanted Finn to meet the kids at the Royal London hospital and give them some toys. 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! I hope I played a little part in making you smile young stormtrooper. ❤️❤️❤️”
When the little girl (who is named Layla, according to the image) asked Boyega where Rey was, he explained that he’d lost his memory after fighting Kylo, and didn’t know where she was. Never missing a beat, Layla told him she’d be his Rey for the day.
How’s that for a Monday afternoon pick-me-up?
