Ryan Reynolds Did a Wonderful Thing for a Young Deadpool Fan With Cancer

​Ryan Reynolds: Boob-cupper, handsome movie actor, and most recently, decent man who does nice things for fans. 

The star of the new Marvel superhero movie ​Deadpool​ revealed on Friday that the "first person ever" to see the film was a boy from Canada.

"This is my friend, Connor McGrath," Reynolds shared on Facebook. "He's quite possibly the biggest #Deadpool fan on earth. He was also the first person ever to see the Deadpool film. Like Wade Wilson, Connor's trying to put cancer in his rearview mirror.​"

"About 6 weeks ago, I traveled to Edmonton Alberta to show Connor the movie at his hospital," Reynolds wrote. "Of course, the Deadpool was right up his alley because Connor's the funniest, potty-mouthed Canadian mercenary I've ever met."

According to the crowdfunding page for Connor's treatment that Reynolds shared in his Facebook post, Connor was diagnosed with high-risk A.L.L., or acute lymphoblastic leukemia​, in 2013, and relapsed last year. He hasn't been responding to chemo and his family is looking to try an experimental therapy, which will cost about $200,000 (INR one crores approx.​). 

Reynolds is helping to get Connor and his family some of those funds. "I know lots of celebrities jump up and down touting a cause -- and maybe I'm no different. But holy frozen shit-slivers, I love this kid. He's the GREATEST. And he needs your help to get well. I've donated to help Connor and I hope you will too."
