A boy covered himself in green paint to look like the Incredible Hulk for Halloween.

Footage shows the youngster Clyde with face, arms, and body coated in the same lush colour of the Marvel superhero in Manila, the Philippines, on October 31.

Clyde had the same short and rugged hairdo as the Hulk, as well as similar tight, ripped denim pants.

Father Bobby Salas said: 'We used poster paint to make the costume. When I was washing my hands, he was a bit worried that he would remain green forever because it was hard to clean off.'

The little boy cried when his father said it was difficult to wash it off, but the parents reassured him the paint was water-based and his skin colour would return to normal.

The Hulk is a fictional superhero and one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Universe. He is the powerful, green-skinned alter ego of Dr Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist who transforms into the Hulk whenever he experiences extreme anger or stress, due to exposure to gamma radiation.
