Late actor Christopher Reeve's son is the spitting image of his father

The son of late actor Christopher Reeve has made an appearance at an event in New York and fans were shocked over his resemblance to his dad.

Twenty-five-year-old Will made an appearance at the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Gala in New York on Thursday.


Also attending the charity event included Will’s half-brother Matthew, 37, and actress Glenn Close, who was a presenter during the night.

Will was all smiles at the fundraiser for the foundation, which is a non-profit organisation aimed to improve the quality of life for people living with paralysis.

Actor Jerry O’Connell, who hosted the event, told PEOPLE, “I first got involved because I met Will Reeve, who’s Christopher Reeve’s son, and I was just so taken with what a well-mannered young man he was. Last year he said, ‘Would you come host this evening that we have?’ And I have to tell you, I honestly didn’t know much about the foundation.”

Will not only looks like his father but is also pursuing acting.

Will appeared alongside Glenn Close in the 1997 TV Movie In The Gloaming and appeared in The Brooke Ellison Story.

Will was 3 years old when his father was left paralysed in 1995 and was just 11 when he died in 2004. Two years later, his mother Dana died of lung cancer at 44.
