Ryan Reynolds is a man with a golden heart. People have heard this several times because the Canadian superstar has proved it every time. About one month ago, he made headlines by meeting up with a Wrexham fan at the Racecourse Stadium. Many might not know that it wasn’t something a celebrity did for a fan, but a dying wish that he fulfilled. Jay Fear, who had terminal appendix cancer, wanted to meet the man who has changed numerous lives after his ownership in Wales.
Now the Deadpool 3 star has once again stirred the internet penning down a hearty message to the same fan.

A few hours back, the Free Guy star broke the news about Jay Fear’s death through his Twitter account. The 45-year-old fan was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of this year. Sadly, he passed away recently after fighting with this disease for months. In order to cherish his memory, Reynolds shared the pictures he clicked with him and his family on the Wrexham grounds. He expressed his admiration for Fear, saying how delighted he was to spend some time with him.
“He didn’t have much of it left, and the fact he shared that time so freely with others is something I’ll never take for granted and never forget. This man lived,” he added. Moreover, he also sent love to his wife and kids, who are currently facing the worst nightmares of their lives. This news was clearly heartbreaking for the actor who choked up on his first meeting with Fear and his family.
Taking to this emotionally grinding experience, he told BBC that the man had some much joy and strength even after suffering from cancer. This meeting took place after the Wrexham team secured promotion to the Football League after a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood. Prior to this, the 46-year-old fulled some part of his other wish he wanted to experience before his death.
