Christopher Reeve's Son Will Remembers His Father's Legacy 15 Years After His Death

Will Reeve is remembering the late Christopher Reeve.

The 27-year-old son of the Superman actor, who sadly died in 2004, spoke out at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation’s “A Magical Evening” Gala on Thursday night (November 14) in New York City.

“I think his legacy is never going to go away and think that is a responsibility that I feel, to carry his and my mother’s legacy on for the rest of my life and hopefully beyond that. I think that the foundation is one way, one tangible way, that his legacy and my mom’s legacy will always live on. And I think the way that I, and my siblings, live our lives is another way. And I think that his impact is felt by the millions of lives that he touched,” Will told People.

He said fans say that he was their “favorite Superman, but more than being their favorite Superman, they say, ‘He was one of my favorite people because he inspired them in ways that had nothing to do with movies.”

“I think that the people who have the most lasting impact on culture are people who made a real difference in the world beyond whatever it is that they were initially known for. And I think that my dad is certainly one of those people … he had an impact on the world well beyond his fleeting fame for being in movies. And I think that he was a change agent in the world, and those are the people who last, and that is why he has lasted.”
