The kindhearted actor sent the famous trident to the young fan, and it's a life-size version! That'd be quite the bedroom decor for any Aquaman fan.

Jason Momoa plays Aquaman in James Wan’s DC film. He first heard about seven-year-old Danny Sheehan's plight several weeks ago.

He chatted to Danny over FaceTime first of all and thanked his fans for bringing Danny to his attention.

He then posted an update with a picture of Danny surrounded by goodies, as well as the trident.

“Wanted to share a picture of this amazing boy Danny Sheehan, Natalie his mom sent me this today,” Momoa wrote.

“I wanted to say thanks to Andy Smith for putting some action figures and toys together for Danny and Warner Bros for sending over an Aquaman trident. Mahalo to Everyone involved and the Sheehan family Aloha J.”

DC Comics replied in a comment saying "Danny is our new hero."

Danny’s mother, Natalie Shaw Sheehan, told Insider: “I never thought it would happen and then it did! Within a day, we had word that Jason wanted to talk to Danny. It was surreal.”

Sheehan was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called pineoblastoma in 2017.

Jason Momoa will next be starring in Dune, opposite Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac.
