The hilarious video shows the actor giving his all on the dance floor, surrounded by kids from the Royal Children's hospital.

Paul is no stranger to entertaining poorly kids and is a regular visitor to the hospital as part of his work with John O’Byrne Foundation.

The foundation throws a Christmas party each year to put a smile on the face of children who have spent most of their year in the hospital. 

John O’Bryne, who battles brittle bone disease, started the charity five years ago with £50.

He organises the party at the Central Hotel in Glasgow every December and calls it 'the most important day in the calender'.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, John said:  "A lot of the kids know who Paul is and he got up on the dance floor and gave everyone a really good laugh.

"We get a lot of really great support - George Bowie was there too to play the music. Everyone loves it.

"It was a brilliant day. The kids absolutely love it each year and they are always so grateful.

"I see what they go through and the strain and stress their families feel. It's so important to do something like this to cheer them up. Even if it just puts a smile on their face for 30 minutes it is all worth it."
