Christopher Reeve’s son, adopted by neighbors, wows with his striking resemblance to his late father

The humble reporter who turned into a superhero marked everyone’s childhood and the name of Christopher Reeve will always come to mind whenever we hear the name Superman.

Reeve achieved the unachievable. He made whole generations fall in love with the character he played.

Unfortunately, this great man who could brag with his looks suffered serious injuries during a horse riding accident

and spent the rest of his days wheelchair bound. His paralysis, however, didn’t stop him from continuing

doing what he did best; being an actor, writer, and a philanthropist.

His fans and family always stood by his side and they were the reason why he never lost hope that his

condition may improve one day. Sadly, he passed away in 2004, but his three children are there to continue his legacy.

Reeve had son Matthew and daughter Alexandra with his wife Gae Exton, and youngest son Will with his second wife, Dana Reeve.

Today, all three run their parents’ foundation, Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.This organization’s

goal is to help those living with paralysis, and they are very successful at what they do. Will Reeve,

who’s 30 now, gathers the attention of the public not only because he continues his parents’ work,

but also because of the staggering resemblance to his late father.

When Christopher lost the ability to walk and breath on his own, little Will was only a toddler. In an interview with the People he recalls how he and his dad were very close and did lots of fun things together. Christopher even taught him how to ride a bike by giving him instructions and being extremely supportive. When he lost his real life hero, Will was 11.

Just 10 months after his death, Christopher’s wife and caregiver Dana was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed away two years later, making Will lose both his parents. At the time, he was 13 years old and moved in with the family’s neighbors, Ralph and Ann Pucci, whom Dana trusted to raise him right.

Will once praised the family who adopted him, saying, “The Puccis are…lifesavers. They are the very best people. […] They are the reason that I was able to emerge from the darkest period of my life – relatively unscathed.

“They took me in, and they loved me, not even like a son, they loved me, and do love me, as a son. The Puccis are my family and they always will be. […] When I say ‘I’m going home’ – it’s their house,” he said.
