Christmas has come early for one local schoolboy after he received a letter from Hollywood movie star Will Smith.
Sixth-class pupil Elijah Odigie was one of a number of youngsters from the area who wrote to people they admired, with Smith the only one to have responded so far.
Smith – the star of films such as Hitch, Independence Day and Men In Black – told Elijah, who attends St Nicholas’ Monastery NS in Dundalk – to keep chasing his dreams.
