Angelina's Wish Fulfillment[/size]
There are times when Angelina Jolie seems too good to be true. Case in point: This week, the Oscar winner took time out from her busy schedule of being a movie star, a UN Goodwill Ambassador, Maddox and Zahara's doting mom and Brad Pitt's doting whatever to make the dreams of a cancer-stricken 6-year-old boy come true.
Last month, we told you how Nicole Kidman paid a visit to a brave little guy (and fellow Aussie) named Dylan Hartung, who is in New York receiving treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering for a rare form of cancer known as neuroblastoma. During their bedside tête-à-tête, Dylan shared with Nicole his two wishes: to beat his disease and meet Angelina Jolie, whom he described as his "ultimate chicky babe."
The actress, class act that she is, said she'd see about arranging a meeting. Kidman kept her word and reached out to Angelina, who stopped by Manhattan's Ronald McDonald house on Tuesday afternoon and spent more than an hour chatting with "a very excited Dylan," his mom writes on his website.
"He spent the whole time being really relaxed and chatting to her at a million miles per hour, like he had known her forever," recounts Mrs. Hartung.
Topics covered included Australian sports, Angie's movies, Dylan's precious stone collection and his many hospital procedures (he's undergone 12 rounds of chemotherapy).
Not one to let an opportunity slip by, the charismatic tyke also expressed an interest in Angelina's many tattoos, and she was happy to give him a closer look (his mom says he was "impressed").
We've said it before and we'll say it again: That is one smart kid.
The pair later exchanged gifts, with Dylan presenting Jolie with a ring (he also gave one to Kidman) and a thank you note, and the do-gooder bombshell reciprocating with several toys (PlayStation games and Toys "R" Us gift certificates, reports People) and an autograph for his "Tomb Raider" poster ("To Dylan, with all my love and respect").
"She was so lovely, very down to earth, just like Nicole Kidman is," gushes Dylan's mom. "I think Angelina was very impressed by Dylan, particularly at how mature he is for his age. She was everything he imagined her to be like and he was so smitten with her."
Mrs. Hartung went on to offer her sincere gratitude to Jolie, saying, "You have no idea just how happy you have made my little Dylan." Added the adorable tot to People, "She was very, very nice."
If you want to learn more about Dylan, whose treatment is being subsidized by donations, and see several snaps of him grinning ear-to-ear next to Angelina, head over to http://www.caringbridge.org/me/dylanhartung/ (be sure to scroll all the way down).
