When Ryan Reynolds personally reached out to Celine Dion with a heartfelt letter asking her to record a song for Deadpool 2, he had no idea how deeply it would impact her. That simple, sincere request reignited something in Celine that had been dimmed by personal loss and time away from the spotlight. The result? Her powerful ballad “Ashes” became a fan favorite, and more importantly, it reminded Celine of her strength, artistry, and the connection she still had with millions around the world.

The letter wasn’t just about a song—it was about belief. Ryan believed in her voice, her legacy, and her ability to breathe life into something beautiful. That encouragement lifted her spirit and reminded her she wasn’t forgotten, even in a new era of pop culture.

Sometimes, all it takes is one genuine gesture to help someone rediscover their fire. And that’s exactly what Ryan Reynolds gave to Celine Dion.
