An eight-year-old Kent boy who has leukaemia has met film star Penelope Cruz for a campaign to urge people to join the bone marrow donor register.
Joe Cawse, who has been on a donor waiting list for more than three years, met Ms Cruz while she filmed in London.
The star joined the Anthony Nolan Trust's national bone marrow campaign after meeting their courier on a flight from Madrid to London.
The courier was delivering bone marrow for another youngster in the UK.
Ms Cruz wanted to help other patients who could not find donors and the trust arranged her meeting with Joe, from Maidstone.
She said: "He's a sunny and intelligent eight-year-old but is battling with leukaemia as I speak.
