Will was only three years old when his father suffered a life-changing injury after a horse-riding accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.
In 2021, Will paid tribute to his late dad on Father’s Day, writing: “In our short time together, my dad gave me everything: his love and attention, his values and passions.

“When he di3d, I was certain my purpose in life was to be him, to seamlessly carry on his legacy, to leave no separation between where Christopher Reeve ended and where Will Reeve began.”
He continued: “Like many missing the main character every third Sunday in June, I never feel fully whole on Father’s Day. But I find peace and strength in the fact that the greatest gift I can give my dad is to keep him in my heart while I follow it wherever it leads me.”
