Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has made a Wrexham fan’s dying wish come true – by meeting him at a game.
The Deadpool actor, 46, even sent a video message to Jay Fear after learning of his cancer fight, telling him: “I am in your corner.”
The father-of-two, 45, from Southampton, fell in love with the club by watching the TV series about it.
He was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in January and made a bucket list wish to watch Wrexham play live and meet the team’s famous owners.
Jay finally met Reynolds at the club’s penultimate league match against Boreham Wood on Saturday with wife Deb and kids Sam, 16, and Jess, 18.
The actor gave him a glove from the movie Deadpool and arranged for him to visit the set for the series’ third film.
Reynolds said: “It was amazing to meet Jay. I wonder if I’d have the same unwavering joy if our roles were reversed.
“He is an exceptional person and his family is wonderful. I got a little choked up talking to him and feeling how much his kids and wife are going to miss him.”
Jay told Reynolds: “I really hope I’m going to be about to get to see Deadpool 3 when it comes out.
“He went ‘well, we’re filming in six weeks so why don’t we get you guys up to London. Yeah, let’s make that happen’.
“I was like.... ‘Please’.”
He added: “People might think this whole thing was for me.
“Actually, this is for [my family] because they are the ones that are going to remember what happened for the rest of their lives.
“I just hope this is a core memory that they’ll never forget.”
