Hugh Jackman has made a Dublin child's dreams come true. The Greatest Showman star has sent a video reply to 7-year-old Emma from Lucan.
It's after Emma's mum, Jacqueline Cooney, posted a video on Twitter of her daughter singing 'A Million Dreams' from the hit musical film.
Jacqueline wrote: "Ok Twitterverse, I need your help - my little girl is obsessed with The Greatest Showman and Hugh Jackman but silly me didn't realise this in time to get tickets to his show in Dublin - so she sang this for him instead! Please help me get it to him & make my girl happy!"

Speaking to 98FM, Jacqueline said Emma was over the moon after seeing Hugh's message.
"She was so thrilled and excited to see his reply and loves him even more now. She said his video was very encouraging."
