Superman actor Nicholas Hoult surprised children on a visit to Shoreditch.
He paid a visit to play project Rich Mix, marking his first day as an ambassador for charity Save the Children.
Known for his role as Lex Luthor in the latest Superman film, Hoult joined children aged seven to 11 for a film and multimedia workshop exploring what it means to be a superhero.
He said: "Seeing the joy that they got from taking part in the workshop reminded me how much I loved being involved in film from a young age."
During the session, children scripted, filmed, and acted out their own superhero sketches before taking part in a Q&A with the actor.
Mabel McKeown, head of corporate partnerships at Save the Children, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Nicholas as our latest official ambassador, and want to thank him for his unwavering support over the years.
"It’s been wonderful to see how excited the children have been at the opportunity to meet with him at Rich Mix and hear about his journey in the film industry – something they’re all so passionate about."
Hoult joins a roster of ambassadors including Ashley Jensen, Sir Mo Farah, Myleene Klass, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
