Ryan Reynolds has been hailed for having a “heart of gold” after the actor spent time in a quiet zone he and Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney set up for fans who have health problems. Following Wrexham’s memorable 3-1 triumph over Boreham Wood, the Deadpool actor was pictured having a heart-to-heart with Caleb Webb, nine, who has been seriously ill with Chron’s Disease.

In the images, Reynolds is seeing smiling on the Racecourse Ground touchline, with the young boy beaming with pride. Other snaps show Reynolds and Caleb deep into conversation, presumably delving over Paul Mullin’s wonder strike which saw the Red Dragons clinch the National League title.

“It is not the first time he [Ryan] has done it,” Caleb’s mum Stacey, who also has the condition, said as quoted by the Mirror. She added: “I would say nine times out of ten he will always come over to the disabled section where the kids are.

“He will come and say hello and have a chat with them. Most of the kids don’t understand he is a famous Hollywood actor. They just see him as a friend.

“The first time he came over to Caleb he said, ‘Hello little man’ and bent down and chatted to him. He [Ryan] really does care. He puts everyone before himself.

“He has got a heart of gold and he really cares for the kids. Caleb just thinks him and Ryan are best mates now. He was the mascot in March and the club treated him like royalty.”

Reynolds, most famous for his role in Deadpool, witnessed Wrexham history as they were promoted to the Football League for the first time in 15 years. And it seems Reynolds and co were quick to celebrate into the night, too.
