When Ryan Reynolds made little fan's wish come true

Los Angeles: Actor Ryan Reynolds did his best to make a dream come true of a little boy (Daniel Downing) who has few months to live.

After learning about the youngster's fatal illness, Reynolds organised a phone call to him between the shoot of 'Deadpool 2.

Downing was diagnosed by a cancer, known as pontine glioma, and at the start of the month it was confirmed that he had an inoperable brain tumour.

After knowing that Downing has just few months to live his life, his family and friends decided to make his final months as memorable as possible, with a phone call from Reynolds being one of them.

In an emotional video, Reynolds can be seen speaking the Downing, who tells him about how "poorly" he has been while surrounded by his mother, step-father Ady, older brother Jack, and two of the family's baby sitters.

Suddenly being able to chat to his idol, the boy cheekily asked if he could FaceTime him to show off his "Deadpool" T-shirt.

Seeing his fan face-to-face, Reynolds said, "Ah that's awesome, what an awesome T-shirt! You know I'm the only guy who doesn't have one of those T-shirts, I need to get one of those."

Reynolds added, "Yeah I am outside, you know what I'm doing right now? I'm filming ‘Deadpool 2'. I'm about to walk into the set and shoot Deadpool 2."

After talking about his love for the comic-book adaptation, Ryan asked Daniel if he wanted to see a sneak peek at the set of the upcoming second installment of the film franchise, which is set to be released in 2018.

Ryan said, 'Yeah I am outside, you know what I doing right now? I'm filming Deadpool 2. I'm about to walk into the set and shoot Deadpool 2."

All the camera crew waved hello and Daniel had his Mr Pool t-shirt on (like the Mr Men but for Deadpool). Daniel was telling Ryan how poorly he'd been and how his friends had helped him feel better.
