Listen to the pain. It’s both history teacher and fortune teller. Pain teaches us who we are, Wade. Sometimes, it’s so bad, we feel like we’re dying. But we can’t really live till we’ve died a little, can we?
I know I’m asking a lot, but the price of freedom is high, it always has
been, and it’s a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one,
then so be it. But I’m willing to bet I’m not.
In a Facebook post dated February 12, 2016, Reynolds introduced McGrath as “the biggest Deadpool fan on earth” and “the funniest, potty-mouthed Canadian mercenary I’ve ever met.”
“He was also the first person ever to see the Deadpool film. Like Wade Wilson, Connor’s trying to put cancer in his rearview mirror,” Reynolds wrote. […] “I called Connor, ‘Bubba.’ And he called me ‘Bubba 2.’ We met because he loved Deadpool. In a certain sense he WAS Deadpool. Or, at least everything Deadpool aspires to be; balancing pain, fearlessness, love and a filthy (filthy!) sense of humor in one body. I wish he could’ve stuck around a lot longer.”
McGrath was treated to a special screening of the then-unreleased film from his hospital room in Edmonton, Alberta. It told the story of Reynolds’ Wade Wilson, a mercenary who is diagnosed with terminal cancer before undergoing an experimental procedure that leaves him with regenerative abilities. […] McGrath’s cancer did not respond to conventional chemotherapy and the boy passed away in April 2016.
