Soon after, something amazing happened. Paul Rudd– the fifty-three-year-old actor known for his roles in Avengers and Ghostbusters– reached out to Cassandra and Brody.
“Brody got to talk to Paul Rudd! ANT-MAN!!!” Cassandra began in another Facebook update, “Is this real life?! Brody was so excited!”
The ecstatic mom also shared a clip from the video chat between Brody and Paul. Paul immediately said how much Brody reminded him of himself.
“You sound like my kind of guy– you like chess, fencing, dinosaurs, am I right?” Paul said, “I am very excited that I get to meet you.”
Cassandra and Brody could not believe it.
“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!” Cassandra wrote on Facebook.
But, Paul’s kindness did not stop there. About a week later, Brody received a package from the Ant-Man himself.
“Dear Brody, it was great talking to you the other day. It is important to remember that even when life is tough, 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!” Paul began in a card.
“I cannot wait to see all the amazing things you are going to accomplish. Your pal, Paul,” he finished.
The heartfelt card was delivered alongside an Ant-Man helmet with yet another signed message on the front.
“To my good friend Brody for when he takes on the world!” it reads, followed by Paul’s autograph.
