John Boyega surprised children patients with toys in London on Friday. The 23-year-old star granted a special wish for a young fan, Daniel Bell, as he brought "Star Wars" on behalf of the Rays of Sunshine children's charity.

The Bafta-winning actor posted a photo collage of himself with Bell on Instagram. Via the social media site, John Boyega said that he is really thankful for the opportunity and hope he played a little part in making Daniel Bell smile.
