Ryan Reynolds has a reputation for being the most hilarious and sarcastic celebrity in Hollywood. But there is no doubt that he is also one of the nicest and most big-hearted people, as we regularly find him involved in some new projects that help society. For instance, he did a public colonoscopy test so people can become aware of this deadly disease. Meanwhile, he is also a member of the direction board of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The 45-year-old actor leaves no chance to help people and make a change in their life. A recent example of the same was when the Deadpool star unified the football community for this heartwarming cause and asked fans to join too. 

Ryan Reynolds asks people to support medical care and research

Ryan Reynolds recently posted on his Twitter account asking his fans to help a 6-year-old cancer patient. In the post, he stated: This is Leland. He’s 6. He’s cheering for @Blyth_Spartans tomorrow. I’m cheering for @Wrexham_AFC. But we’d both like to beat his cancer.” The actor also shared the link to find the match for the kid’s bone marrow.
