What a fantastic dad 🥺

Never in my life did I think that Deadpool will become a hero that children love and look up to, you’re officially an Avenger now ❤

"But it damn ain't right now" i needed that so much

This really proves how much Deadpool as a character touches prople. Deadpool is a character thats lost so much but keeps on going. I think that's why we like him so much.

Nothing brings us together like two Canadian superheroes with firm glutes. Thanks Ryan! Thanks Hugh!

Wherever Jake is now, I’d bet he’s loving this and laughing his socks off! You’re an amazing Dad John.

Ryan is a absolute legend and to help this dad through his grief it's just amazing, from being a father, son, actor, husband he's the total package plus he's funny too

We lost our daughter in 08' and went down a very dark path myself. I'm sober now for 8 years and I go to therapy every month. You're not alone folks. We all go through grief, depression, and anxiety. You are loved.❤️

Amazing. This shows just how caring Ryan actually is.

As someone who lost his firstborn son in an accident, this hits hard. 😭 Thank you, John Bell for keeping your son's memory alive and trying to make the world a little bit less of a sandpaper dildo.

“I love you Ryan” we all say in unison

That man’s son lives in his spirit. I’m so glad he didn’t give up on life. His family needs him and the world needs him. Thank you for finding the strength to not only help yourself, but also helping others.

Deadpool is slowly moving away from the anti-hero. This is too beautiful 🥺🙏🏾 May John Bell's heart always heal and regenerate.🕊✨️

Mental health is so important. Thank you for helping to bring awareness, John and Ryan. Rest in peace, Jake. ❤🖤

You A-hole Ryan....you made me shed a tear ❤. My heart goes out to this father.

Deadpool might be a anti-hero but Ryan is a genuine hero

Being here at the first minute makes me happy in some sort of way ❤

I’ve struggled with severe depression for over 20 years and have recently had a significant setback. It’s heartwarming to see stories like this. Thank you.

It's so incredibly sad that his son couldn't physically be here to witness his dad literally being the greatest dad of all time! But his son is watching from the heavens, that's for sure and is extremely proud to have such a lovely dad! And Ryan and Hugh truly are the greatest real life superhero duo of all time!

I just lost my wife july 14th 2024 and this really hit home for me. Thank you. I needed to let out these feelings and watching this helped me

Nothing brings us together like Ryan helping out the community

What a beautiful father, he will definitely see his son again one day. Thank you so much for sharing his story, Ryan

Seeing Ryan do wholesome things like this is really incredible to watch. LFG!!!

Its so heartwarming to see that Ryan who jokes and laughs all the time he can barely talk to the dad without breaking down and cry. He is a damn good person!

This doesn’t even ring hollow at all when you think about say Deadpool 2, a movie that really underneath all the raunchy comedy is asking ”how do I deal with the death of the person I love?” and it comes to a similar conclusion that this brave man did: you turn and you live for the rest of your family. That’s what Deadpool is all about, it’s not just his powers that allow him to heal from literally any amount of damage and pain, it’s also this emotional, interpersonal thing. Deadpool’s mission statement is: You can come back from ANYTHING.

God bless this man and his baby boy is supporting him watching over him❤

I mean you’re not right wrong. Literally watched the movie yesterday with my friend and we both had a blast. Especially with the Wolverine popcorn bucket.

Ryan, you’re the best man. And that father there is a special human for showing true strength when it was most important. God bless you guys.

We just learned that Ryan has a son. That's a huge moment to give us that revelation. Love our Ryan, love his causes and his family and how he lives with his celebrity. Off to learn more about this charity and cry, probably.

Thanks much, Ryan for introducing us to this amazing father. Healing can be done in so many ways. His courage is heroic.

This dad deserves the world indeed as we all do

Awww, that is just heart breaking.... RIP little guy and HUGE HUG from across the pond!

That's a good way to see life and death imo, I like this guy's outlook on it. He said near the mid-way point of the video that he knows one day he will be reunited with his son after he dies, it's just not right now, and that's how he's made peace with death. Thinking of death as a long time before you can see someone you love again instead of a permanent loss is probably a lot better of a stress-reliever than telling yourself their gone forever, we truly don't know and for all we know in the afterlife he will one day be reunited with his son. Good on him, good on Ryan Reynolds!

i really love the dad. how hard it is, and how he wanted to stay alive for his family. legend

Two guys being open about mental health and emotional pain is the healthiest expression of being male ever. Thank you so much. Let's keep the conversations going.

That man is a strong man. I'm sure his son is proud of him.

My respect and appreciation goes to John Bell for pushing thru every hurdle and keeping the memory of his son alive, what a lad!

I love that you did this for a grieving father. He has the toughest job in the world.

John your are legend, your son must be very proud of you!

Beautiful father amazing to your child rest in paradise young man. Your father loves you and he's carrying your life with him everyday. Beautiful!!!

Damnit! I'm not crying, you're crying! Thank you for that message. Damn.

Wow this man is truly an inspiration, he is showing so many people that there is still a road on the other side of grief and despair. Deadpool is really is a character that many can relate to in their own way. Ryan is amazing for giving this guy a further reach with his message and sharing his son with the world

that comment on making peace with death was so badass. Legend. "im gonna reunited with him at somepoint, but its damn sure not gonna be right now" fire.

Yes this is what is all about! Being famous means nothing if you don’t use that power to lift other people up with you. This is awesome Ryan, and massive respect to this guy John Bell 🙏🏽❤️

Nothing like crying on your birthday. Needed this reminder today. What an incredible individual to be able to still find light at the end of his tunnel of darkness.

I'm not crying. You're crying. In all seriousness, what a wonderful human being. Thank you for sharing his story.

Ryan is comical, and hilarious, and silly. that’s who he his. But this just shows how much compassion, empathy and respect he has for others as well. well played Ryan and co. we walk together ❤️✊🏼

Usually I don't donate, but this time I will. Thank you for making Deadpool & Wolverine happen.

John, you are an inspiration for many men. I wish you continued positivity. Ryan, you are a good man. 🙏

i don't know if you will ever see this but i have to say congratulations and much respect to what a mammoth effort you and Hugh put in to promote the movie. it has to be a world record of how many interviews were done in many different countries.

This reminds me of me and my father growing up; I miss him, every day. I hope me going through college working my butt off now to become a game designer like I always wanted will make him proud in the afterlife. Thank you, Ryan, for being so awesome, funny, and every positive word. You rock, dude! You made this father so happy just to talk about his son. More people should be like you. Being so selfless is such a blessing, and I know, we all have selfish moments every day.

Oh John, thank you for walking us through the overwhelming labyrinth of mental health, especially, with our children. It's brave, vulnerable men like you who lift us up; you likely don't even know how many lives you have affected, touched, and helped with your advocacy. You have just made me feel less alone, now multiply that by 1000 and this is, just, one person and her own family and friend circle, think of the thousands of others - Thank you☺

I hope John lives a good life. It’s terrible to lose a child at such a young age, but this man is walking for him, and will continue to walk.

This was beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to talk with his gentleman and have him share his great "recovery" story. The bathtub is such a great idea and great visual of what a lot of us carry everyday.

Been going through a rough patch these last few years…thank you both for sharing and spreading awareness 😊❤

It's heartbreaking and wholesome 😢💖

Honestly ryan is such a genuinely nice guy

500 miles was an excellent throwback for this ❤

As someone with Autism, I understand how it feels to go through several challenges. I've coped those I've lost, including my 2nd grade teacher, who passed away in 2013 from cancer. My papa (my mother's father) passed away from a car crash 5 years later & now my parents are going through a divorce, much to my grief, but I'm thankful to know Deadpool through these dark times & I'm grateful for your movies & that 20th Century Fox was able to put out the best with Marvel in these movies. It warms my heart that you are able to lift my spirits with your inner Deadpool. Don't have a good day, have a great day. Thank you for bringing 20th Century Fox back!

About an hour ago I just booked an appointment back to my psychiatrist. Then I saw this. The universe is giving me a sign I'm heading in the right direction.

Proof that storytelling is a very noble profession.

Ryan, thanks for being you! I've enjoyed your work from the earliest days, and I appreciate how you keep moving through this world. Keep up the good works!

What a guy! Absolutely personified the character his son loved in so many ways! Inspiring bloke, through and through. Especially in the face of everything. Thank you for sharing this. I hope he realises what an amazing person he is. Sorry for your loss, but thank you for carrying on and giving your boy his legacy even after his time. Your time is his too, so you definitely aren't going anywhere yet! Top lad. Lot's of love.

As someone who struggled with PTSD from a lot of different trauma. I understand this man's pain. It's my girls that have kept me breathing; even now they're adults. All the pain I have to bear is nothing compared to my love for them. Thanks Ryan for showing that real superheroes walk among us.

Why does everyone always think it's about being ALONE? A LOT of people who check out early are SURROUNDED by friends. It's about HOPE. Or rather lack of it. Without a purpose or meaning there is no direction for hope. It's then, when you can't find anything to hope for, when you feel lost. Worse. Without any reason to find your way.

Really needed to see this right now. Thanks Ryan

Videos like this make me realize how lucky/blessed i am. Each of my kids have lifelong health problems (my genes and my wife's genes did NOT like each other for some reason), but they're all still alive and i get to see them grow up and become better adults than i ever could have hoped. Like Ryan said, i hope i can be a tenth as good of a father as this man is...

Best movie I've seen in a long time!

That’s so sad. I wish no one ever has to go through such a thing. So sweet that he found a way to deal with it.

This is the sweetest video I’ve ever watched. You guys are such blessings!

John is an amazing dad and an amazing person in general

Two amazing Dads!! I can't respect Ryan Reynolds more than I already did... then I watched this.

I’ve never really thought of Deadpool as an inspirational character, but I keep seeing stuff like this. Underneath the dirty jokes and bloody violence, he’s a survivor. A cancer patient, a veteran, someone who struggles with depression, self doubt, body image issues, suicidal thoughts, all sorts of awful shit. So many things that so many people in the real world have to deal with every day.

Nothing more accurate than dressing up as a character that has the worst mental health possible. Great and meaningful video, by the way.

Dude, this is so beautiful. Thank you for introducing such a wonderful father-son duo to us. I'm honored to know these wonderful people.

Nothing brings us together like two Canadian superheroes with firm glutes. Thanks Ryan

mental health is serious matter and videos like this show the right way to treat it

Thank you for this. One step after another Is what i think just saved me right now.

The emptiness and pain you can soothe with hate or with love, he chose love. He will see in every look of joy, gratitude and reciprocal affection, the eyes of his beloved little one.

You literally released Deadpool 3 for my birthday - you didn't disappoint I loved it! Thank you for the birthday smiles!

This made me cry for struggle for everone in the world. I give my heart to everyone struggling right now. You are never truly alone. You are worth something. So be kind to yourself.

His son would be proud

I hope you know how much of an addition to our world you are! You are an inspirational light. Keep up the good work!

Ryan Reynolds: What a legend!

This dad is a legend and it’s incredible that he was able to do this much good with that much grief…

If I lost my son, I don’t know if I would’ve been able to recover…

This is sad but also heartwarming so many emotions in such a short amount of time 😢😊

something in my eye

God bless him and you Ryan for highlighting this 🙏

Thanks Mr. Ryan 😢 for this video it really hit my heart ❤ you are truly a jesus who not only care to entertain his audience with best performance but also cares for heart broken and lonely people. The World really needs real life heroes like you. Love you Mr. Rayan from India .

One of the most beautiful ways to use Deadpool as an example ❤

Is this the kid who pulled a rainbow charizard inside his car while his sister yells “ WELL DONE JACOB “. 🤣 r.i.p ❤️

If anyone can sympathize and understand him completely-the struggle, the pain, the dark place it will be me. I too lost my son when he had barely turned 18, he was such a Deadpool Geek, I knew the character and read the earlier books but he took me to the next level making me more understandable of the character and who he was. He was still alive and we were able to enjoy together Deadpool 1 and 2. Unfortunately he passed away in May of 2019 but would've loved to see his loved character finally be in the MCU along with Wolverine and would've freaking loved this movie as much as I did. I wear his Deadpool and other MCU shirts to commemorate him and to follow what he would've loved to still be doing. This is great story and I know not just me but I am sure there's more of us that have gone thru this pain and who are not just Marvel fans but Deadpool heads. You are awesome Ryan, God bless you!

A must watch for anyone who is going through a mental health problem & hopefully, by watching this, it helps someone else out there in the world

Wow… the courage that must take.

My mom actually passed away on the release date for Deadpool & Wolverine (7/26) and five days after my birthday from cancer that eventually turned out to be metastasized from her gallbladder. To have a film that I was so anxiously anticipating coincide with the death of my mom was bittersweet. Nothing is as devastating as losing a loved one, especially a parent or a child. Deadpool, albeit an anti-hero, is still a character who fervently fights for those he loves and cares deeply about, and in my eyes that makes him just as much of a hero as any of the Avengers. If you have parents or loved ones you haven't talked to, call and tell them you love them. You never know if it'll be your last opportunity

Ryan seriously trying to de-rank Keanu as most wholesome actor out there

Nice Brother ❤

Damn bro you really hit me in a soft spot there. I'm thankful to have my dad alive and well so I can see him and talk to him daily
