After the post garnered abundant support from all around the globe, the wisecracking Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds was the first one to turn up for help as he commented under the post,“Can you open your DM’s?”which left Hollingsworth and his son in complete shock and tears of joy. In the DM, the actor dedicated a video for the brave child with a heartfelt message saying,
“Hi, I’m Ryan. You can call me Deadpool, call me Green Lantern, call me anything you like, call me baby, I don’t mind, I know you’re going through it pal, It sounds like you’ve got a ton of amazing people who are in your corner and love you very much. I just want to send you all my well wishes and send you all my love.”
Seb had to undergo open heart surgery when he was just 16 weeks old and had to go through it again at the age of 13, but this time the kid was inspired by his superhero and put on a brave stride going into the surgery. The boy later shared a humorous video by saying, “That scar is street cred for life”and the actor admired the kid’s brave gesture and followed up with an amusing comment, “Show the bad guys that scar, and they’ll wish they’d worn their brown pants.”
