Former Doctor Who star Matt Smith has sent a
heart-warming video to a four-year-old boy with an inoperable brain
tumour, telling him: ‘I’m thinking of you, mate’.
Jack
Robinson, of Denmead, near Portsmouth, Hampshire - who is a huge fan of
the science-fiction TV show - was shown the clip, which includes
31-year-old Smith singing the Doctor Who theme tune.
The actor played the famous Doctor in the series for three years. In the video - filmed in Austin, Texas - Smith slowly focuses the camera on himself before singing the show’s theme tune

According to the Portsmouth News,
Jack has an inoperable brain tumor. Ever since he was diagnosed, his
family has been doing whatever they can to make his dreams come true.
That's where Smith comes in, as Jack is a huge "Doctor Who" fan.
Once word about Jack got out, it was English singer-songwriter Gary Barlow who alerted the child's dad, Terry Robinson,
about the video. He's not sure how the story got to Smith, but he's
grateful. "His eyes just lit up and he was so delighted," Robinson says
of his son. "It has made his day."
In the
video, which Smith filmed himself in Texas, the former Doctor sings his
own version of the "Doctor Who" theme song and promises to try and see
him when he returns to England. This video just cements how Smith is
pretty much the coolest guy on the planet.
