Ryan Reynolds held a special screening of Deadpool for his young fans in 2016
Deadpool smashed various box office records, but Ryan Reynolds granted a young cancer patient the opportunity to see the movie before anybody else could.
In 2016, Reynolds disclosed on his Facebook page that he did a special screening for his film for Connor McGrath, a little child hospitalized in Edmonton, Alberta, a huge fan of the Marvel superhero, who was also diagnosed with late-stage cancer.
Reynolds captioned a photo of himself with McGrath; he wrote, "This is my friend, Connor McGrath. He's possibly the biggest Deadpool fan on earth. He was also the first person to watch the Deadpool movie. Connor, like Wade Wilson, is attempting to put cancer in the rearview mirror."
Reynolds said, "Alberta, show Connor the movie at his hospital. Of course, Deadpool was right up his alley because Connor's the funniest, potty-mouthed Canadian mercenary I've ever met."
