ALBAWABA - A boy went viral on social media after a school party costume idea went wrong when his mother used latex paint to make him look like Dragon Ball's Emperor of Evil, Frieza, which later proved very hard to remove.
Videos of the boy covered in white and purple latex paint quickly flooded social media. Visible marks showed that his mother tried to remove the paint from his skin but failed, leaving the boy stuck in the villain's iconic fourth form.
According to TV Azteca, the incident in Argentina occurred when the boy's parents used standard latex house paint, believing it would wash off easily.

While concern flooded social media as several users took to the comment sections to offer possible solutions, no reports indicate that the child managed to break free from Frieza's curse.
The viral video sparked a wide variety of reactions on social media. A user on X (formerly Twitte) wrote, "She is a cool mom though. Some parents would never dare put such effort for a school costume party."
Another added, "Looks like they're going to be there for a while. I know that peeling isn't going to work. Soap and water. Thank God he didn't have a latex allergy. THINK! DO PEOPLE THINK ANYMORE?"
