Christopher Reeve’s youngest son, Will Reeve, stepped out in New York City looking just like his late father.
The 31-year-old attended the Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations event and was spotted walking hand-in-hand with girlfriend Amanda Dubin on Monday.
Bring Change to Mind is a nonprofit organization that aims to “end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness,” according to its website. The organization was co-founded by Glenn Close and her family after her sister and nephew were diagnosed with life-changing mental illnesses.

At an event for the foundation in 2019, Will spoke about his parents’ legacy.
“I think his legacy will never go away, and I think it’s a responsibility that I feel to carry on the legacy of him and my mother for the rest of my life and hopefully beyond,” he told People at the time. .
“I think the foundation is a way, a tangible way, that his legacy and my mother’s legacy will always live on. And I think the way me and my siblings live our lives is a different way. And I think that his impact is felt by the millions of lives he touched.”
