John Boyega continues to make the internet cheer. After championing a story mode in Star Wars Battlefront and declaring that he's #TeamCap, now he's using his newfound superstardom to make some kids in need smile.

Boyega posted on his instagram about a boy named Daniel, currently battling brain cancer.

"Rather than having Finn to himself, he wanted Finn to meet the kids at the Royal London Hospital and give them some toys," Boyega wrote. It'd be a complete tear-jerker if you didn't also get to see the kids' huge smiles. Since Daniel requested a visit from Finn, Boyega came as Finn.

"I stayed in character while I was with this brave boy, asking him what a car was," Boyega said. "He taught Finn about everything Earth related!"

The actor mentioned how humbled and thankful he was for the opportunity, and posted one additional picture of him and two of the kids, Layla and Daniel.

John Boyega is currently shooting Star Wars: Episode VIII for a December 15, 2017 release.
