Ryan Reynolds has described being "choked up" after meeting an "exceptional" Wrexham fan who has terminal appendix cancer.

Jay Fear, 45, who was diagnosed in January, met his hero at Wrexham's Racecourse stadium where his team won promotion to the Football League.

The Deadpool star gave him a glove from the movie and arranged for him to visit the set for the series' third film.

Fear says his family would remember it forever.

Reynolds adds it was amazing to meet Jay and he wonders if he would have the same unwavering joy if their roles were reversed.

He also adds Fear is an exceptional person and his family is wonderful and he got a little choked up talking to him and feeling how much his kids and wife are going to miss him.

Reynolds had pledged to arrange their meeting after hearing about Fear's dying wish to see the Wrexham team and meet him.

Fear told BBC 5 Live's Sunday Breakfast team how they always say you should never meet your idol and Reynolds is definitely an exception to that.
