Little girl has cute reaction when she sees real boy behind 'Casper the Friendly Ghost'

This is the cute moment a young girl saw the real boy behind 'Casper the Friendly Ghost' for the first time.

A video shows six-year-old Laila Ward screaming with excitement when Casper the ghost transformed into a real human.

Mum Rebeka Ward, 35, introduced Laila to the children's film during the mother-daughter movie night.

She chose this film because she remembered reacting similarly to the actor Devon Sawa.

Rebeka posted her daughter's reaction to TikTok and it quickly went viral - gaining 1.7 million views.

The video was even reposted by the actor himself.

Rebeka, who owns a hair and makeup business in Santa Cruz, California, USA, said: "She's finally at an age where she can start watching live-action movies and I remembered loving it in the 90s.

"I remember that moment, too, when I saw Devon I was 10 or 11 and I wanted to see if she had the same reaction.

"I think all little girls in the 90s thought he was the number-one heartthrob."

Rebeka continued: "For a good couple of minutes she was just laughing.

"I told her that I had a crush on him too and she teased me about it."
