"Man, you have a ton of people in your life that love you so much. I know you`ve been going through it, I know it`s been a challenge lately but you know something, Brody, you`re just the man for the job," Reynolds continued.
"So I`m sending you lots of love. I hope I get to meet you in person one of these days and hang in there. Okay pal, bye," the father of three concluded the video.
