Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds posted a moving tribute to a young fan, 13-year-old Connor McGrath, who died recently after a protracted battle with cancer. The actor posted on Facebook, "I'm grateful I got to orbit Connor's world for a brief time. Grateful for the pages and pages of hilarious texts between us. Grateful to his parents for allowing Connor to spend time with a foul-mouthed child in the body of a 39 year old. We met because he loved Deadpool. In a certain sense he WAS Deadpool. Or, at least everything Deadpool aspires to be; balancing pain, fearlessness, love and a filthy (filthy!) sense of humor in one body. I wish he could've stuck around a lot longer." Reynolds had earlier met McGrath when he surprised the teenager at Edmonton, Canada. The two were brought together through the non-profit organisation Make-A-Wish Foundation, which works towards fulfilling the desires of sick or dying children. "Because of his wish, Connor was the first person to see Deadpool," Reynolds wrote in his post.
