The galaxy sure is in good hands, because Chris Pratt doesn’t just play a hero—he is one.

The 35-year-old actor worked with Marvel and Children’s Miracle Network Hospital to arrange a special screening of Guardians of the Galaxy for patients, families and staff at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, reported E! Online.

While the movie was being screened, Pratt, who played Star-Lord in the film, snuck out and dressed up as his character.

The 35-year-old actor spent hours in the costume and even gave out movie-themed toys. He spent time with patients in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit, the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases and the Pediatric ICU, as they were too sick to join the movie screening.

When the screening came to an end, Pratt re-entered the room and took several photos with the kids. He let several children try on his gear and signed autographs for everyone. The organisation later tweeted, “Thanks for making them smile!”

Oh, he sure made us smile.
