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.

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.
