Google celebrates Superman star Christopher Reeve on his posthumous 69th birthday

The iconic movie star would have been 69 years old today.

Popular tech Company, Google, celebrates late Superman star, Christopher Reeve, on what would have been his 69th birthday today, September 25.

As a way of honouring the late actor, Google decided to make Reeve its Google Doodle icon for September 25, 2021.

Mr. Reeve is famous for playing the lead role in the 1978 iconic Superman movie and its three sequels.

He was born on September 25, 1952 in New-york and became famous for his role in the movie. Unfortunately, he had a tragic incident in 1995 that left him paralysed for the rest of his life.

After the incident, Reeve became an activities for people living with disabilities around the world until his death in October 2004. He died of heart failure.

While he was alive, he founded the Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation in 1998 which still carries his legacy until date.

These were the reasons Google decided to honour the iconic actor and activist for his great work while he was alive.

“Today’s #GoogleDoodle celebrates the birthday of American actor and humanitarian Christopher Reeve,” Google wrote on their official Twitter page.

“On camera, Reeve was the Man of Steel. Off camera, he was a devoted advocate of people with disabilities and other social causes.”
