Vancouver-born star Ryan Reynolds made one fanBԪַs day with a reply to an Instagram post.

Instagram user Jadiant Quinn, a med student graduating in 2023, posted a photo of himself dressed up as Deadpool, with a caption that laid out how much confidence Quinn has gotten from the comic book character as a burn suvivor.

BԪַDeadpool has honestly made me way more confident. Anyone who has read or watched anything about Deadpool, knows his face and body are pretty messed up. So itBԪַs only natural that I cosplay him,BԪַ Quinn wrote. BԪַI wanted to be authentic as possible, and that was to not wear a mask. ItBԪַs so easy to cover up who I am, and to give In to despair. Deadpool just makes me not care about that stuff and show my true self. This is me, and IBԪַm not Ashamed about it. Deadpool is icy clean, and heBԪַs helped my self esteem so much. IBԪַm owning who I am, and cosplaying Deadpool makes it that much easier.BԪַ

After dozens of comments, and Quinn himself, tagged Reynolds in the post, the Deadpool actor replied.

BԪַThis made my YEAR! CanBԪַt even describe what this post means to me,BԪַ Reynolds commented. And in response to QuinnBԪַs post where the med student said he learned to do the splits for this photo, Reynolds said he too can do the splits BԪַ once in a while.

BԪַAlso, I can do the splitsBԪַ but only once a year. And it has to be in the lobby of a hospital.BԪַ
