Will Reeve on His Dad Being Superman, New Documentary About Him, Losing His Parents & Their Legacy

[@pete9124]

Losing both parents so young so sad, but how proud they'd be of their son!

[@HeathRios-e6o]

I never knew his mom died just 18 months after his dad.

[@cherylcampbell9369]

​@@HeathRios-e6oI immediately went to wiki for Dana Reeves' story.

[@HUMPDIDUMPDI123]

The next Clark Kent ???

[@bombshacalaca]

he is batman

[@JamesPence-o7q]

That’s a tragedy that might ruin many children. They evidently had some great family support after loosing their parents.

[@thefozzybear]

He looks like Superman.

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

He looks like his dad, and better yet, seems to have his dad's sense of decency.

[@hangontofaith]

I remember worrying about him after his dad passed away, then, his mom. What a resilient person. I see both his parents in his appearance and mannerism.

[@tiffyjade690]

Yes!

[@HeadHunterSix]

I felt the same way when Dana passed so soon after Chris. My first thought honestly was "my God, what is Will going to do?" And then when I thought about what courageous, amazing parents he had, I was comforted with the thought that he was going to be alright.

[@Sharyk808]

Handsome like his father. Mere coincidence he’s a journalist like Clark Kent. I think not 😂😂Much success Will.

Christopher Reeve will always be the best movie version of SUPERMAN, sadly missed

[@mariegeorge8865]

❤❤❤

[@ajbox2369]

My Gen Z son saw all of the Superman movies - the Originals and all of the reboots and even he thinks the best Superman was Christopher Reeve. That's saying something.

[@ramdjow2882]

Agreed. I think this new guy will be amazing tho. Cavil was good too but his personality as Superman was a bit dull and shallow imo.

[@andydv27]

Wishing a happy heavenly birthday to the man, the legend, Mr. Christopher Reeve. May you rest in peace and fly high in the skies. ❤️

[@davidfilmexpert]

Will's parents Christopher and Dana gave everybody hope and inspired a nation. I'm so glad he and his siblings are finally sharing his story. I couldn't stop tearing up in the theater, I hope everybody is able to see this film. 🙏♥️

[@Boobalopbop]

His dad was THE Superman. Let’s face it. He is the standard all the rest try to live up to and never do. Will is gorgeous! Has his dad’s classic bone structure.

The way this man honours his parents brings a tear the eye😢

[@SILVER_JP]

It’s strange, I saw the thumbnail not knowing who Will Reeve is and immediately thought “that guy looks like a Superman”

[@diedrebenson5950]

His older half brother looks even more like his dad.

[@samoriab5999]

he got the superman genes

[@sugarray6250]

Same!

[@nca4794]

Very handsome. I had to scroll back up.😅

[@mikeJohnson-ie2md]

This is due to his father being the actor who portrayed the human personification of a fictional character in four films starting in 1978. His father has been the most recognizable human representation of Superman for nearly half a century. The thumbnail and pose that drew comparisons to Superman were created deliberately. They were crafted by a professional studio using a photograph of movie's Superman's real-life biological son.

[@e-spy]

What a delightful young man.

[@susanavilez9302]

I watched the Barbara Walters interview and a few months later I broke my neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. When I was in trauma that I was high level spinal cord injured (C,3-4) it was because of Reeves I knew what it meant. He was my hero too

I had always worried about Will after his parents died. I understand his siblings really stepped up. And of course the family he moved in with and anyone else who finished raising him. What a well rounded, charming young man. His parents would be so proud. ❤

[@RoSen344]

His siblings really stepped up for him. Considering they only shared a dad, they were truly wonderful and love him very much. Also they are both quite a bit older than Will.

[@The_Professor26]

*Losing both parents so young and still finding the strength to carry on and become a successful individual. Now that's a Superman if you ask me! Fair play to the lad!*

[@nancykraus5127]

I had no idea Dana had died that young. They gave their son such a grounded take in life. Bless them.

[@pupp5092]

It’s almost like seeing him again in his son’s smile and voice. Rest in Peace Christopher. Thank you so much for his documentary. I can’t wait to see it. I Loved him Sooo Much in “Somewhere in Time.” What a movie and what a Beautiful Man. Theirs was a wonderful marriage through such through such hard times.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💒💒💒

[@tlouiseallen9302]

I loved him in that movie 🤩🫶

[@ginkodragon]

Christopher Reeves was everything, handsome, athletic, a wonderful actor. I loved him in Somewhere In Time. His accident and death was as heartbreaking for he, his beautiful wife, his family and all of us as the movie was! As long as we remember he and Dana, they will always be alive in our hearts!

What a beautiful man Looking forward to the film

I used to play racquetball with Christopher (around 2:00pm on Thursdays) at the New York health and Racquet club in midtown. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I was a pretty good player, yet after so many matches, I only won one game. It broke my heart when I heard the news of his horrible accident. But he courageously continued his life while inspiring and encouraging those with disabilities, that life can still bring joy and purpose. I think of him often with tremendous respect.

[@Happiness379]

Wow, what an honor you got to be with and know Mr. Reeves.

[@swimgoddess-r1u]

So handsome. Sounds just like his dad. I'm sure his Dad is looking down smiling.

Much respect for will and his family making this movie about their dad

[@nibsvkh]

Will

[@jrdervish]

The moment the curtain rose to show Christopher Reeve on stage at the Oscars in March 1996 is the most moving moment of the Oscar telecasts. Nobody thought we'd ever see him again. You can see the tears Nicholas Cage's eyes. Looks of respect from many others. It is still seared in my memory.

[@ddguitars1969]

Christopher reeve is superman....always will be. He looked like him and played the duality superbly. His comic timing was great as well

[@nibsvkh]

Christopher Reeve Always perplexed by anyone that posts a tribute comment yet doesn’t capitalize a person’s name.

[@Bobmeister-vr2lh]

It was 1978 which is 46 years ago and they've made a few more Superman movies since. But Christopher Reeve was the ultimate Superman because he played both roles and he had the perfect presence, physique and charisma of both roles. After his unfortunate accident he was the real Superman in how he never gave up hope of his recovery. R.I.P and never forgotten ❤️

[@tanyamendoza1572]

He looks so much like his father, Christopher Reeve best Superman of all time ❤

[@priscillawrites6685]

It’s an understatement to say that Will Reeve has had an unusual life. Glad he is prospering. He even sounds like his dad.
