A mother has revealed how Paul Rudd got in touch with her son after hearing he was being bullied at school.
When he's not busy being the sexiest man alive, Rudd is also winning the hearts of the world with his personality. Good looks and character, the man needs to give everyone else a chance.
And when he heard about seventh-grader Brody Ridder, from Colorado, who was being bullied at school and had his classmates refuse to sign his yearbook, Rudd reached out to the unfortunate schoolboy.

Warning: Have your tissues at the ready.
Cassandra Cooper - Brody's mother - took to Facebook in despair after her son revealed his classmates were refusing to sign his yearbook.
"My poor son. Doesn’t seem like it’s getting any better. 2 teachers and a total of 2 students wrote in his yearbook. Despite Brody asking all kinds of kids to sign it.

"So Brody took it upon himself to write to himself. My heart is shattered. Teach your kids kindness," she said.
The mother also told The Washington Post how Brody fell victim to bullies at his previous school too, with kids having 'pushed' Brody and 'called him names'.
As well as older children coming to Brody's classroom to cheer him up, none other than the Ant-Man himself also got in touch.

Cassandra posted her son and Rudd's Facetime call on Facebook, saying: "Something AMAZING happened today!!!! Brody got to talk to Paul Rudd! ANT-MAN!!!! Like this this real life?! Pinch me now! Brody was so excited! I wanted to share a clip of their call!
"Shout out to Paul Rudd, and his sister Mandi for reaching out and setting this up! You truly made Brody so happy! My heart is so full right now!" the mother said.

Not only that, but Rudd also sent Brody a letter.
One of the lines in Rudd's note to the young boy reads: "It's important to remember that even when life is tough that things get better.
"There are so many people that love you and think you're the coolest kid there is - me being one of them!"

Rudd even sent Brody a signed Ant-Man helmet, with a special signature on it reading: "To my good friend Brody for when he takes on the world!
"Paul Rudd. ANT-MAN."
The two are now noted as being on texting terms according to the 12-year-old's mum.
A screenshot of part of the conversation shows Rudd telling Brody 'something should show up' at his house.
"Your my favorite super hero," Brody responds, to which Rudd replies: "You're mine."
