Ryan Reynolds opens up about father's Parkinson's battle and how parenthood with Blake Lively 'healed' him


Ryan Reynolds opened up about how his late father's battle with Parkinson's disease strained their relationship and how, with the support of his family, he has found healing. The star's father died in 2015.

The Deadpool & Wolverine star, 47, shared that his father James Chester Reynolds began experiencing symptoms of hallucinations and delusions a decade after his Parkinson's diagnosis, further complicating their already challenging dynamic. The documentary tracks Ryan Reynolds and actor Rob McElhenney as they join forces to revitalize Wrexham and secure its place in the English Football League. In a recent interview on David Letterman's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, the star admitted that he was 'mad' at his father when he passed away, because their distant relationship meant that he felt he 'never got the chance to get to know him'.
