Ryan Reynolds "choked up" after meeting with terminally ill Wrexham fan before promotion

Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds said he was “choked up” after meeting a terminally ill fan before Wrexham’s promotion clinching victory.

Jay Fear, 45, who was diagnosed with appendix cancer in January, chatted with A-lister at the club’s Racecourse stadium. The Deadpool star, who is Wrexham’s co-owner, gave him a glove from the movie and arranged for him to visit the set for the series' third film.

Reynolds, 46, said: "It was amazing to meet Jay. I wonder if I'd have the same unwavering joy if our roles were reversed. He is an exceptional person and his family is wonderful. I got a little choked up talking to him and feeling how much his kids and wife are going to miss him."
