A nine-year-old boy from Glasgow who has a rare genetic condition was left “starstruck” after finally getting to meet his hero, the “real” Spider-Man.
Noah Connell was born with Pierre Robin Syndrome which resulted in facial abnormalities which cause problems with feeding and breathing.
He is a huge fan of the Marvel superhero and although he managed to meet actor Tom Holland’s stunt double in costume during filming in Glasgow, he has finally met the man himself.
Noah had previously been left disappointed after being invited to the premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in London, but failed to meet his hero.
Noah, who uses a wheelchair, was born with a small neck, large tongue and small airway so has to be fed through a tube and uses an app on his iPad to speak.
His mum Jade told the BBC’s Radio Scotland Breakfast programme: “He is the happiest wee boy you’ll ever meet. He literally steals the hearts of everybody. Everybody loves him.”
