Batgirl star Leslie Grace pays tribute to Glasgow boy, 4, who died from a rare form of cancer

Batgirl star Leslie Grace has paid tribute to a wee boy she met while filming in Glasgow after he lost his battle with cancer. The actress had formed a bond with Finlay Mckechnie, four, when he arrived on set dressed as his favourite superhero, Batman.

DC’s £75million movie will never be released, but we can reveal the heartbreaking story of how the star touched the life of her young fan while filming in the city. After his death last month to hepatoblastoma, a type of liver cancer, the 27-year-old actor told how she was devasted at his loss and dedicated a song to him on social media.

Finlay’s family, from Ruchill in Glasgow, have told how the star made Finlay feel like a superhero.
