While both Hellboy flicks weren’t big hits, Zachary wanted to meet the red superhero.  Ron Perlman reprised his role as Hellboy.  He treated Zachary and everybody on the set to the superhero’s favorite food of burgers, shakes and fries.  Make A Wish Foundation first contacted make up effects Spectral Motion about Zachary’s request.  Then Spectral Motion contacted Ron Perlman, who was happy to help out.  Below is the description from Spectral Motion’s FB Fanpage:

“In the past three weeks, Spectral Motion has been honored to host two wonderful Make-A-Wish children, Caleb and Zachary. Zachary loved his visit for two very special reasons. It was Zachary’s wish to meet Hellboy and also to become Hellboy. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted Spectral Motion with this request, Mike thought it would be fantastic to have Ron Perlman reprise his role for the day. Ron loved the idea and donned the makeup once more (with the assistance of Lufeng Qu and Eden Elizalde) and also ordered a Hellboy sized meal of burgers, shakes, and fries for Zachary and his family and the entire Spectral crew to enjoy. Later in the day, Zachary was transformed into Hellboy with the assistance of makeup artists Lufeng Qu and Neil Winn. Both of the Make-A-Wish days were a complete thrill for the families of the children, as well as for the crew at Spectral Motion!”
