Daniel Downing is a five-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. In the few months he has left to live, the young Marvel fan had the opportunity to chat with his hero, Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool.
Reynolds called the boy this week and humored him for about 15 minutes with cheerful conversation. "As soon as Daniel realized, he asked if he could FaceTime him and then he was very, very hyper," Daniel's mother told The Herald. Video of the two of them chatting went online, and according to reports, during their chat Reynolds showed the young fan around the set of Deadpool 2.
You'll definitely need your tissues for this one.
