BOSTON — A young boy undergoing cancer treatment at a Boston hospital got a big surprise when he was greeted by actor Ryan Reynolds.
The “Deadpool and Wolverine” star surprised Nash, 8, on Friday at Mass General Hospital for Children, where he is being treated for a rare form of cancer.
It all started when Nash’s mother sent Reynolds a photo of her son’s radiation mask, decorated to look like Reynolds’ superhero alter ego, Deadpool. Reynolds responded that he’d love to meet Nash in Boston. The whole visit was a surprise.
Reynolds signed Nash’s mask and even did a Facetime call with his “Deadpool and Wolverine” co-star Hugh Jackman so he could talk to Nash as well.
Reynolds wrote about the meeting on X (formerly Twitter) and said, “I wish every child who needs treatment could get it here. And I wish every parent of a sick child could entrust their child to such capable hands. Nash, you’re the best. Love you, buddy.”
