“Star Wars” actress Daisy Ridley recently pulled off a pretty neat move for people isolating from coronavirus.

Ridley, who starred in three films as Rey, read a story about BB-8 from the “Star Wars” universe. The video has already been viewed more than 575,000 times. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld‘ Shocks In Episode 4 ‘The Mother Of Exiles’ With The Return Of The Man In Black)

You can watch the heartwarming moment below.

I know it’s a pretty small gesture in the grand scheme of things, but if it helped one person smile during this crisis, then it was worth it.

Right now, we need to do whatever is necessary to keep our spirits high as we maintain responsible social distancing.

Lots of people are doing whatever they can to help. Some are donating money, some are donating supplies and some are donating their time.

Ridley simply read a short story and it was viewed well over half a million times. I think it’s safe to say she’s pretty popular among “Star Wars” fans.

For those of you staying home, go ahead and fire up some “Star Wars” movies if you’re looking for something to watch. It’s arguably the most iconic saga ever made!

Props to Ridley for giving people something to smile about during these trying times.
