Top star Smith replies to Elijah

Hollywood star Will Smith urged an 11-year-old boy in Dundalk to chase his dreams and make the most of every day, shocking the youngsterby replying to his letter.

The 6th class pupil was one of a number of children who wrote to people they admired. The Men in Black star is the only one to have responded so far.

The letter has made Elijah Odigie into a minor celebrity himself in Dundalk.
