In 2018, actor Rob Delaney experienced a heartbreaking tragedy when his two-year-old son, Henry, passed away from a brain tumor. This devastating event occurred just months before the premiere of Delaney’s film “Deadpool 2”.
In the “Deadpool” franchise, Delaney portrays Peter, a friend of the main character played by Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds took to social media on Monday to share a touching statement, honoring Henry’s memory.
Reynolds praised Delaney, calling him “one of the most subversively funny people” with a talent for writing that is both beautiful and vulnerable. He revealed that a credit in “Deadpool & Wolverine” is dedicated to Henry, highlighting the profound impact of this loss on Delaney.
Expressing regret for not including a tribute to Henry in the end credits of “Deadpool 2”, Reynolds emphasized the importance of honoring the bond between father and son. By acknowledging Henry in the credits for “Deadpool & Wolverine”, Reynolds believes that father and son are finally sharing the same screen.
In a poignant gesture, Reynolds shared a photo featuring Delaney’s book, “A Heart That Works”, which chronicles the love and loss of his beloved son.
