It seems to be nearly impossible for Chris Pratt to stop being the best. The Guardians of the Galaxy star has been on an awesome streak lately with an inventive take on the ice bucket challenge, charming audiences with tales of him flashing his junk to Amy Poehler, and French braiding an intern’s hair during press junkets.

Showing no signs of stopping, the actor made a visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on Wednesday in Star-Lord garb. Working with Marvel and the Children’s Miracle Network, Pratt held a screening of his blockbuster hit at the hospital for younger fans and their families to enjoy. For fans in the Pediatric ICU and Bone Marrow Transplant Unit too ill to join the screening, Pratt made special in-room visits dressed in full Star-Lord regalia.

E! News reports that Pratt spent extra time with diehard Lego fan Dylan Prunty, who recognized the actor’s voice from The Lego Movie. The actor indulged Prunty’s fandom by reciting lines with the patient for 10 minutes.
