Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans just proved they’re superheroes in real life as well as on screen.
The Avengers pair, with the help from fellow Iron Man actress Gwyneth Paltrow made one very sick boy’s dreams a reality when they surprised him at his San Diego home.
Reports out of the US say Chris originally sent 18-year-old Ryan Wilcox a personalised video message that was played during his high school assembly.
Ryan was over the moon and thought that was the end of it, until the real life Captain America and Iron Man showed up at his door!
Ryan was thrilled to meet his own personal heroes.
Gwyneth shared a heartwarming photo of Ryan with his heroes, accompanied by the caption “Today @ryanwilcox0303 got a little surprise!
“Thank you to the incredible #ChrisEvans and my better work half @RobertDowneyJr for being the men you both are. And thank you to the Wilcox family for your hospitality!”
The dynamic due jet off to meet their super fan!
But Chris and Robert aren’t the only heroes.
It was Gwyneth that started the mass movement on social media to get her famous pals to meet Ryan, even offering to drive them to his house herself!
“He absolutely LOVES Captain America and The Avengers and what we want for Ryan if possible is to meet the actors and actresses of The Avengers, especially Chris Evans who plays Captain America,” the actress who plays Pepper Potts in the comic book series had posted.
Gwyneth posted this image of sick Ryan to convince her fellow Avengers to assemble.
“He isn’t doing too well and this would be a major way to boost his spirits and quite frankly be the best moment of his life!”
“Please share this to help get the attention of Chris, Robert, Scarlett and the rest of the Avengers cast and try and make his dream come true!”
See the Avengers take to the skies, to heed the call and meet Ryan! Post continues…
And that’s exactly what happened!
The super duo of Ryan and Chris answered the call and Gwyneth helicoptered them out to see their star-struck super fan.
Robert loved Ryan’s decked out room so much, he felt he had to add to it.
And here’s the cute message he left!
The Avengers alum spent time with Ryan, chatting and goofing about before the sick teen took them in to his room to show them all the Marvel memorabilia he had collected.
Robert seized the opportunity and grabbed a pen, autographing the boy’s wall for him, signing both his name and Tony Stark’s.
We hope the visit cheered Ryan right up to keep on fighting!
