Jurassic World stars make side trip
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard took some time out of filming
to make a trip to the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London this week.
The actors have been busy shooting the sequel to the 2015 smash hit dinosaur movie in the British capital for the past few weeks. But on Tuesday, they decided to make an important trip to the nearby children’s hospital to meet some of the patients there and make their dreams come true.
Alongside an Instagram picture of himself and with patient Elle, Pratt wrote: “Bryce and I had the tremendous pleasure of spending some time with our new buddy Elle and a few other patients at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London.
“I’ll never fail to be moved by the unbreakable spirit of a child. #godisgood Psalm 107:8-9 Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good. No doubt. Today my longing and hungry soul is filled.”
also reposted the picture and added the caption: “So great meeting this sweet soul and many other strong, little warriors today at @greatormondst with @ prattprattpratt.”
Pratt has a personal connection to children’s hospitals, and recently announced that he is auctioning off a visit to the set to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital’s orthopedic centre, the intensive neonatal unit of which was where his son, Jack, spent a lot of time after being born prematurely in 2012.
“You can do a big première. You get your star on the Walk of Fame. You can do all those things and none of them make me feel anything remotely close to what it feels like to go to Seattle Children’s Hospital and be with these kids and their families,” he told Yahoo Style in a recent interview.
