'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa has once again brightened the day of his biggest fan.

Momoa sent toys and action figures to Danny Sheehan, a brave 7-year-old Marshfield, Massachusetts child battling a rare form of cancer, who the actor had previously reached out to after a viral video of the child was brought to his attention, CBS Boston reports.

The 41-year-old actor reportedly sent Danny a note with the gifts signed, "Love, Uncle Aquaman," according to CBS Boston.

Last month, Momoa surprised Danny with a FaceTime call, which was shared on the actor's Instagram page.

“Hi Aquaman,” Danny said. “I’m so excited.”

“Hi Beautiful boy,” Momoa responded while smiling. “I’m excited.”

Danny recently went viral after a video showed him excitedly reacting to being gifted an Aquaman action figure during a recent family photoshoot, CBS Boston reports.

“Oh my God! My favorite one! I LOVE AQUAMAN!” Danny shouted in the video.

Danny was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma -- a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer -- and Leptomeningeal disease -- cancer in the spinal fluid -- in January 2017, CBS Boston reports.

“I have been hearing about you all over, from all of my friends,” Momoa said in a video of the call shared to his Instagram page. “And I wanted to call you and say hi and see how you’re doing.”

Danny asked Momoa about his sea adventures and showed him the Aquaman toy he received in the video, which has received more than 2,000 interactions on the family's "4TheLoveofDanny" Facebook account chronicling his cancer battle.

Momoa invited Danny to the filming of 'Aquaman 2' in London next year and promised him he'd give him one of his tridents.

A GoFundMe page launched to help Danny's family pay for medical expenses, which exceed its initial goal of $75,000 and had a total of $126,536 as of Monday (December 7).
