Ryan Reynolds, known for his role as “Deadpool,” made a heartwarming visit to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston this week to meet a young boy fighting a rare form of cancer. The visit was prompted by a touching gesture from the boy’s mother, who had sent Reynolds a photo of her son wearing a radiation mask adorned with a “Deadpool” theme. Touched by the gesture, Reynolds arranged a surprise visit to meet the 8-year-old boy in person on Friday, creating a special and memorable moment for the young patient.
During their visit to the hospital, the young patient named Nash and the actor Ryan Reynolds took a selfie together while Nash was wearing his radiation mask. Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) shared on Facebook that Nash, who is undergoing treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma at Mass General for Children and Mass General Cancer Center, looks up to Reynolds as a beloved superhero, comedian, and now a friend.
Additionally, Nash received a surprise FaceTime call from actor Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine, a friend of Reynolds’ character Deadpool. MGH also posted a heartwarming video on Facebook capturing the moment when Nash met Reynolds, a memory that will be treasured by Nash and his family forever.
