“My audience and fan base has increased. It’s not just fans that I am in contact with but people who actually needed happiness in their lives and to cheer up. I have been there as a friend for many and some have become family,” said Deadpool.
He said he had also made some surprise appearances at events which has been an amazing being part of his journey.
“I recently made an appearance at the Sunningdale Entrepreneur’s Market where I bumped into Spiderman. We have become such good friends. We chatted, had fun and played some games as well. I also took pics with Santa who said I was a naughty guy,” he said.
He said after the recognition he received from media interviews he had done, assisted in expanding his fan base. He had a soft spot for those fighting cancer.
“No matter what their ages are, I just want to be there for cancer patients. I want to do everything I cant to make them happy. I also lost a friend to cancer so, as the Deadpool character, I will be there for them,” he said.
Reflecting on his schooling career, he said the past two years have been stressful.
“I have been struggling emotionally and physically. I had to make so many sacrifices but I am glad it’s all over. I was still able to go out at least once a week in between my studies as well which helped me in a way,” said Deadpool.
