A Colorado boy who struggled to make friends and faced bullying at school has found a new pal in actor Paul Rudd .

The Ant Man star apparently sent a package to Brody Ridder last month after the 12-year-olds mom, Cassandra Ridder, shared a story about how none of his classmates signed his yearbook. It contained a letter and a signed Ant Man helmet that read: To my good friend Brody for when he takes on the world!

In the letter, Rudd told the seventh-grader it was important to remember that even when life is tough that things get better, according to a copy posted on Facebook by Brodys mom.

There are so many people that love you and think youre the coolest kid there is me being one of them! it said. I cant wait to see all the amazing things youre going to accomplish.

Riddler said she was moved by the gesture and that her son and the actor were on texting terms now. In a screenshot of a text exchange, Brody told Rudd he was his favorite super hero.

Youre mine, Rudd replied.

Brodys story made headlines last month after his mom shared a picture of the yearbook, which contained entries from two teachers and a message he wrote to himself: Hope you make some more friends. Brody Ridder.
