Permanent paint leaves man looking like the Hulk

Going to fancy dress parties can be great fun as it offers people a chance to let their hair down.

Some people go to extraordinary lengths in order to recreate the look of famous stars from film and TV.

Paulo Henrique dos Santos is no different and the Brazilian recently covered his body in green paint in order to go to a gathering as the Hulk.

But he got a shock after taking a shower the next day and realising he had used industrial-strength paint that would not come off.

It means the wally was left looking like the green monster.

According to Brazilian news website Extra.globo.com, there had been fears Mr dos Santos would contract lead poisoning, as the stuff he used is typically for ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines.

However, after getting his friends to scrub him for 24 hours, he was finally able to remove the paint.
