Christopher Reeve’s youngest son, Will, is a spitting image of the late film star, who died from heart failure in 2004. The 32-year-old is a broadcast journalist and currently works with ABC as a news correspondent. He has undoubtedly had his face open doors for him, just for looking like Christopher.
The TV personality has learned to enjoy his reality and the benefits that come with it, noting that he is grateful to be associated with such a good reputation. Now an orphan, he has also acknowledged his late mother Dana Reeve, who passed two years after Christopher.
Will’s few acting credits
Will had a brief stint as an actor, with credits in productions like Gloaming, The Brooke Ellison Story, and Everyone’s Hero, where he voiced an unnamed character. He would eventually find his strength in journalism, working with the likes of ESPN’s SportsCenter and Good Morning America. He will also have a cameo in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film.
He has also shown off his athletic side by participating in the New York City Marathon twice, where he took the chance to shout out his late parents at his last one in 2021. He attended the premiere of Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story ahead of its release this fall, noting that there was no better time to share the late legend’s story.
Remembering Christopher
Ahead of the movie release, Will recalled urging directors and producers behind Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story to go all out in portraying Christopher with little to no sentiments, in order to show the world his human side. He commended the result of the production, calling it a “remarkable” watch.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is set to be released in September, telling the story of Christopher’s rise to stardom, and his decline after suffering a life-changing horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed in the ‘90s. Cast members include Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Sarandon, Jeff Daniels, Glenn Close, and more.
