Actor Christopher Reeve’s son says he will continue his father’s work in Hollywood

Will Reeve works as a reporter and is very happy with his job. Those around him say that the late actor resembles his father the most among his children.

Will Reeve, the 32-year-old son of legendary actor Christopher Reeve, who works as a correspondent for ABC News and Good Morning America, admitted that he really enjoys his profession and has no interest in following his father’s path in Hollywood. The young man, who is a perfect replica of his famous parent, told People on the red carpet of the New York premiere of the new documentary “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.”

“I love my job as an ABC News reporter. I think I might like performing. But I don’t know if I’m good at acting,” she admitted.

He says David Corenswet, who will play the lead role in the upcoming Superman movie, is a good choice. The movie, starring Corenswet, known for his work on “The Politician” and “Tornadoes,” is expected to be released in 2025.

David becomes the third actor since Christopher Reeve to play Superman on screen, following Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill.

The documentary “Super/Human: The Christopher Reeve Story” chronicles Christopher’s early days as an aspiring actor in New York City, through his tragic accident while competing in a horse-riding event with his best friend Robin Williams in Culpepper, Virginia, in 1995, and the events that followed.

The story then focuses on his paralysis after falling from a horse and the impact on his life of his relationship with his wife Dana Reeve, whom he had married three years before the accident. The actor was paralyzed from the shoulders down, could not breathe on his own and spoke using a device inserted into his trachea.

Will’s mother, Dana, became Christopher’s primary caregiver from 1995 until her death in October 2004.

Since the accident, the actor has lobbied for spinal injury research, including human embryonic stem cell research, and for improved insurance coverage for people with disabilities. His advocacy work included directing the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and co-founding the Reeve-Irvine Research Center.

All three of Reeve’s children serve on the foundation’s board of directors.

In 2005, 10 months after Christopher’s death, Dana was diagnosed with lung cancer. She died in March 2006 at the age of 44, outliving her husband by only 17 months.
