Jude Law showed his solidarity with refugees as he walked beside Little Amal - a 3.5 metre-tall living artwork of a young Syrian refugee child.
The actor, 48, looked in good spirits as he joined the puppet in Folkestone, Kent on Tuesday as it began its journey through the UK.
Little Amal - which means 'hope' in Arabic - has been making the journey all the way from the Turkish-Syrian border since the end of July.
Celebration: Jude Law, 48, took Little Amal by the hand as he walked along Folkstone beach with the puppet on Tuesday - showing his solidarity with Syrian refugees
Little Amal was designed by Handspring - the same company which produced the horse puppets in the War Horse play.
Jude attended the celebration of the puppet finally landing on British soil.
She represents the 17,000 people who have taken the same journey across the channel this year alone.
On British soil: The actor looked in good spirits at the event with the 3.5 metre (11ft 5 in) tall contraption wearing a black coat and jeans
Impressive: Little Amal is made to look like she has a red and pink skirt on, and was designed by Handspring - the same company which produced the horse puppets in the War Horse play
While in the UK, she will be visiting Canterbury, London, Oxford, Coventry, Birmingham, Barnsley and Sheffield before ending her voyage in
