Here’s a feel-good story to lift your day.
Stormzy and Idris Elba, who recently became close friends, dressed up as Father Christmas yesterday to visit young patients at East London’s Newham University Hospital.
Idris Elba, who is a native of Newham, told Evening Standard that he wanted to “bring a smile to the children who are unwell”, continuing “I always wanted to give back in this way, to Children’s Hospitals. With a 15-year-old daughter and three-year-old son myself, I can only imagine the anguish and maybe even fear these children and their parents are experiencing.”
The actor added: “This visit was just a moment for me to hopefully bring a smile to the children who are unwell, in hospital and away from the comfort of their homes during the Christmas period.”
