The 48-year-old actor who starred alongside Australian Hugh Jackman in Deadpool and Wolverine earlier this year said he was amazed to see so many people dressed as his on-screen character.
"You'll never know what that's like if you're me. I'm five years old, staring out the window at some impossible future," the Hollywood star wrote on X.
"People made mini movies and wore some of the best suits I've ever seen. Quoting lines, and performing stunts. Little KidPools to GeezerPools… I'm not aloof or cool about stuff like this - No part of me takes it for granted or feels entitled to it. It's like having a dream come true - but a dream you didn't know you were dreaming of."

Jackman, 56, reprised the role of Wolverine to star in the superhero movie, and Ryan previously took to X to heap praise on his co-star who he met in Sydney around 2007.
"Back then he was already a movie star and I walked onto set a supporting actor ... I was a nervous mess.
"Film sets can have a scary imbalance of power and I remember seeing how he treated every member of the crew with genuine respect and appreciation. He made a case that the term "filmmaker" isn't just for people with their name on the poster," he wrote.
"I don't know anyone more thoughtful, kind and classy than this man. He'll do anything for someone he loves. He'll do anything for someone he just met.
"In Deadpool and Wolverine Hugh didn't just make dreams come true for fans of Wolverine. He made MY dreams come true too. He is THE X-Man.
