Ryan Reynolds' heartfelt tribute to terminally ill Wrexham fan he met as final wish

Jay Fear, a Wrexham fan who was battling terminal cancer, has died aged 45.

Ryan Reynolds, who owns Wrexham with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, has paid tribute to the late fan in an emotional social media post. The Hollywood star met Fear and his family last month, giving him a priceless prop from the popular superhero film Deadpool.

Fear was re-diagnosed with appendix cancer in January after getting the all-clear in 2022. He described Reynolds as an "idol" and was grateful for the support he showed, with the Wrexham co-owner even inviting Fear onto the set of Deadpool 3 in London.
