Ron Perlman's age worry

Ron Perlman is worried he will be too old to make a third 'Hellboy' movie.The 58-year-old actor recently reprised his role as the title character in superhero movie 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' and says he is worried director Guillermo Del Toro's other commitments will mean he is unable to make another film in the franchise.He said: "I hope I'm able to walk if they make a third film. Guillermo is supposed to be going off now until the year 2013 to do 'The Hobbit' and if you do the math and you know how old I am, it's a real concern as to whether I'm going to have to do the whole thing from a chair or even an iron lung. We'll see. "But as long as Guillermo is making Hellboy movies, I'll be there."The 'Blade II' actor also revealed he relates to his character because he is a "self indulgent slob".He added: "I'm a slob. I'm pretty self indulgent, a hedonist and I'm pretty undisciplined. I like to mix it up with the guys and I like a little trash talk now and again. I'm pretty cynical too. I've got that New York thing happening because that's where I grew up. Maybe that's where the similarities end, but that's plenty. That's a good foundation to build off."
