Vincent Carmichael is a huge Deadpool fan, even though he’s never seen the R-rated film because he’s just eight years old.

“I met the bad guy,” he said, referring to the villain Cable played by actor Josh Brolin. Reynolds posted a photo of the encounter to his Twitter account.

Vincent had so much fun that his mother agreed to let him return to the set on Tuesday.

That’s when he got to spend some time with star Ryan Reynolds, who gave Vincent a couple of pieces of advice.

“He said, ‘Stay in school,'” mother Caitlin said. “And he said, ‘Be nice to your mama,’ which I totally get behind.”

Vincent said he expects Mom will remind him of Reynolds’ pearls of wisdom “every single day.”
