Joey King Wore a Dinosaur Costume to Safely Hug Her Grandma for the First Time Since March

Joey King found a creative way to give her grandmother a hug on her birthday, amid the pandemic!

The 21-year-old actress hasn’t been able to hug her Grandma Elaine since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic back in March, but she finally got to embrace her after eight months.

Joey dressed up in a dinosaur costume that served as a full body suit and allowed her to give her grandma a hug.

“Safely hugged my grandma for the first time since March🦖,” Joey captioned a photo on her Instagram page.

Joey‘s mom shared the below video and said, “@joeyking figured out a way to give her grandma her first hug since March!!! @redsfarrar Happy Birthday to the matriarch of this family. You taught us all how to be strong, thoughtful woman. You are the best mother of the mother!!”

This past weekend, Joey won an exciting award and revealed some big news about an upcoming movie during her acceptance speech.
