Well this is a lovely way to head into the weekend; Ryan Reynolds and the Make-A-Wish Foundation teamed up to grant a young fan's wish on the set of DEADPOOL. Tony Acevedo, who is battling Hodgkin's Disease, asked the Make-A-Wish Foundation if he could meet the real Deadpool and they definitely made good on that wish; not only did Tony get to hang out with Ryan Reynolds in costume, but he got to try on Deadpool's mask and gloves for himself.
It's always nice to see celebrities take some time out to do things like this and this isn't even the first time Reynolds has granted a fan's wish on the DEADPOOL set. Just last week 15-year-old Calista King, who is fighting a brain tumor, not only got a walk-on role in the film, but she also went home with Deadpool’s sword.
We here at JoBlo offer our best wishes to both Tony and Calista and hope that their road to recovery is a speedy one.
DEADPOOL opens on February 12, 2016.
