Scott Loxley is walking around Australia but with a little twist – he is wearing a 'Star Wars' stormtrooper outfit.

Bare in mind he’s doing it for a very good reason – he is hoping to raise $80,000 for the Monash Children's Hospital in his home city of Melbourne.

Scott was walking outside of Yalboroo in Australia when he was bitten by a deadly King Brown snake, but was protected by the costume's plastic armor.

"The armor actually protected me and stopped the bite," Loxley said in a video posted online.

"I could feel the teeth on the plastic, scraping, but the armor actually stopped something," he said.

"So all those people that rag on the old stormtroopers, you know, 'the armor doesn't do this it, doesn't do that', it stopped a snake bite and probably saved my life today," he added.
