Glen Powell took a little break from filming his new movie, The Running Man, to visit the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London this week! The actor was all smiles as he met with the staff and patients during his visit.
Powell has been spending the past few weeks traveling between London and Glasgow, Scotland filming scenes for the new movie. Based on the Stephen King novel, and the 1987 movie, the movie follows Ben Richards (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original movie, who will now be played by Powell), a desperate man who participates in violent reality show called The Running Man in order to win enough money to revive his gravely ill daughter. The show follows Richards being chased by numerous hunters sent to kill him.
The joy he must have brought to the patients, families, and staff! What a great way to also bring some Holiday spirit to the hospital!
