While "Suicide Squad' recently wrapped up its filming, stars Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney proved that their brave and bold capabilities are not only fit for the big screen- they are also real-life superheroes.
The duo paid a visit to a young Toronto girl's lemonade stand during the weekend to support her efforts in raising money to find a cure for her brother's rare neurological disease.
Na'ama Uzan's older brother, Nadav, has Angelman syndrome- a rare congenital disorder that is brought on by genetic malformations. The seven-year-old boy finds it difficult to walk or talk, and experiences frequent seizures.
Na'ama, a five-year-old superhero in her own right, had put up the lemonade stand in 2014 to raise money for the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics.
When Robbie and Courtney learned about her cause while filming in Toronto, the "Suicide Stars' cast members definitely had to visit.
"I heard about Na'ama's story and what she's doing for her brother Nadav," Courtney told CTV Toronto. "There's no act too small when you're talking about making a difference."
The duo was greatly impressed by the five-year-old girl's commitment towards charity, especially at a very young age.
"I used to do little stands like this when I was little and I'd just spend the profits on lollies at the corner store. I'm glad she's doing something far more noble with the cause," Robbie shared.
So far, Na'ama has collected over $64,000 for the foundation, which has greatly helped in conducting a number of clinical trials for the disease. She also has a research chair dedicated in her name to seeking a cure for Angelman syndrome.
Meanwhile, now that filming has wrapped up, co-star Jared Leto has also been busy chopping off his bright green hair strands, which were essential for his role as The Joker in "Suicide Squad.'
Taking to social media, the actor-singer bid his slime-green locks goodbye as he shared a photo on Instagram.
"It's really important that he doesn't look like a woman "” that's the biggest challenge," Leto's celebrity hair stylist Chase Kusero said during award season last year. "It's hard to have him not end up on the "best hair' lists "” and that definitely hasn't been our intention. He does have amazing hair, so it's kind of inevitable."
In exchange
"Suicide Squad,' a film that follows the story of incarcerated villains who are sent on highly dangerous secret missions by the government to have shorter prison sentences in return, makes its way to theaters on Aug. 5, 2016.
