Ron Perlman is better than you

[Johnny Latino Heat]

He may be known for playing Hellboy, but Ron Perlman has just earned his wings.

The 62-year-old actor made one little boy's wish come true when he showed up in his full Hellboy makeup and costume for a day of hanging out with his big screen hero.

Six-year-old Zachary had expressed to Make-A-Wish his desire "to meet and become Hellboy." The boy is undergoing treatment for leukemia, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Enter Spectral Motion, the creature effects house that brought to life the many fantastical characters in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy 2 (2008).

They in turn approached Perlman, who "loved the idea and donned the makeup once more," Spectral Motion said on its Facebook page.

Perlman then underwent the four-hour makeup application procedure it takes to become Hellboy and shocked a delighted Zachary -- who later got the opportunity to become a pint-sized Hellboy himself. More photos of the memorable encounter are posted on Facebook.

Saw this and thought it would be a nice thing to post. How awesome was Perlman for sitting through a four hour procedure to meet a sick kid?

Quality from Perlman, still haven't got round to seeing Hellboy. I only really know him from Sons of Anarchy.

[Maxx]

Really don't see how that makes him better than me. It's not like I refused.

Maybe you should've won the part of Hellboy in the first place :/

[Maxx]

My audition was solid!

[MNM X Koofi e R-Truth]

That's actually really, really fucking cool.

Saw this on Tumblr and a couple of other places. These kind of stories are heart-warming.

Dear lord that is amazing. I can't imagine for a moment that it's comfortable to be underneath that much makeup and prosthetics in the middle of the summer time.

Have air conditioners not made it up to Canada yet?

[apsham]

A polar bear stole mine.

I'd rather meet Clay Morrow.

[apsham]

That is one situation where meeting a big, red hellbeast would be the less intimidating situation.

Did You Know?

John Cena has granted more wishes than Ron Perlman, and the entire cast of Hellboy COMBINED.
