Ryan Reynolds shared a message on Instagram Monday where he paid tribute to his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Rob Delaney and his two-year-old son Henry, who passed away in 2018 at the age of two from brain cancer.
While Reynolds considers Delaney to be "one of the most subversively funny people" and "a beautiful, acerbic and vulnerable writer," the 47-year-old actor also wanted to raise awareness towards the long overdue spotlight on Rob's late son who died shortly after the completion of Deadpool 2.
"If you stayed through the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine, you might notice a credit saying, 'For Henry Delaney,'" Reynolds wrote. "Henry was Rob's son. And Rob lost his little boy to a brain tumor in 2018. Right as we finished Deadpool 2."
"I’ve always kicked my own ass because I didn’t place a tribute to Henry over the end credits of DP2," he continued. "If there’s a bright side, even more people are seeing Henry’s name in the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine. And at long last, father and son are sharing the same screen."
Recently, Deadpool & Wolverine overtook Joker to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time at the box office.
