Ryan Reynolds has surprised a young Marvel fan recovering from open heart surgery with a personal video message. 

The Deadpool actor sent Seb Hollingsworth, 13, a video to wish him a speedy recovery after his major operation. 

Seb had his first open heart surgery when he was just four years old, but he recently needed further treatment and his father, Ivan, put a call out on Twitter for any actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to send his son a message of support during this difficult recovery. 

And Ryan heard the call.

The 46-year-old actor responded and wrote ‘Can you open your DMs?’ before sending across a heart-felt message.

Ivan shared the touching moment that his son, Seb, got to watch the message from one of his favourite superheroes.

In the video, Ryan said: ‘You can call me Deadpool, call me Green Lantern, call me anything you like. Call me maybe, I don’t mind. 

‘It sounds like you have a tonne of people who love you very much. I want to send you my well wishes and send you all my love. Hang in there, you’re doing amazing. I’m super proud of you.’

The grateful family posted the clip of their son’s reaction on social media along with sending their thanks to the A-Lister.

‘Recovering from open heart surgery and being so damn brave. The very awesome @VancityReynolds has made our Heart Hero’s day! Thank you so much’.

The comments were flooded with users reaching out to send their love and well-wishes to Seb, the ‘little hero.’
