Luke Perry's son paid a moving tribute to his late father in Hollywood on Monday. Jack Perry, 22, represented his dad on the red carpet at the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's new film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The hotly awaited movie was Luke's last film before he died in March, days after suffering a stroke at his house in Los Angeles at the age of 52.

Jack, a professional wrestler who goes by the alias Jungle Boy in the ring, kept his trademark curly hair loose and wore a white T-shirt and blue retro-style jacket with a Stuntman's Association patch, in keeping with the film's historical feel. Set in 1969, it stars Margot Robbie as real-life actress Sharon Tate, who was murdered by Charles Manson's followers.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays (fictional) TV star Rick Dalton while Brad Pitt appears as his stunt double Cliff Booth. Luke plays Wayne Maunder, another real actor who starred in many successful Western films of the era. His character can currently be seen gracing a billboard on Sunset Boulevard, as his son showed his followers earlier on Monday.
With the help of a friend, Jack filmed himself climbing the ad, posting the video to his Instagram in honour of his dad. He captioned the video: "Big premiere tonight. He deserved this and I'm very proud of it. A stud in life and forever after. The best of the best. Love you forever."
