Hellboy & Make-A-Wish Foundation


Ron Perlman rules. He rules so hard it's not even funny. In fact it's kind of heart wrenching.

Little Zachary is six years old. He's battling leukemia. The awesome people at the Make-A-Wish Foundation  helped make one of Zach's dreams come true: to meet and become Hellboy.

They contacted the company that did the special effects for the Hellboy films and Hellboy himself, Mr. Ron Perlman, came down and underwent the grueling 4 hour makeup process to bring the character to life for young Zachary.


Zachary not only got to meet Hellboy but the special effects guru's at Spectral Motion studio even put him in the makeup chair, transforming Zach into a mini Hellboy.


This is the coolest thing I've seen in forever. Ron Perlman and Spectral Motion, thanks for restoring my faith in humanity...and Zachary, you have the coolest taste my friend and I wish you all the best.

  4. This is amazing man. It's one thing for some famous person or actor to turn up to meet a kid like this but it's another thing for them to go through four hours of make up to do it, huge props to the kid and to Perlman, not only do his Hellboy films freakin rock but so does the person inside him.

  6. I read this earlier today and seriously cried. For every ten celebrities that wastes their resources and makes an ass out of themselves on a regular basis, you have one that remains a human being and understands the joy in helping others. Great guy, great cause, great kid. So awesome.

  11. I appreciate Ron for taking the time to do this for the kid. I bet when most celebrities do appearances like this they spend just long enough doing something noble for the cameras to take a few pictures.
