Vancouver native – Ryan Reynolds has responded after Premier John Horgan asked him to help get young people on board with COVID-19 restrictions.
In a message posted on twitter today, Reynolds says he called Horgan’s office and ‘left him a message’ after the Premier suggested that Reynolds and Seth Rogen use their star power to reach out to young people who are increasingly testing positive for the virus in B.C..
“I don’t think they want medical advice from guys like me,” Reynolds said, in a tongue-in-cheek video. “Unless it’s plastic surgery, which, a lot of people don’t know this but I used to be Hugh Jackman.”
He did however address the fact that young people are partying in the province, something health officials have repeatedly urged them not to do.
“Young folks in B.C. they’re partying which is of course dangerous. They probably don’t know that thousands of young people aren’t just getting sick from coronavirus they’re also dying from it too,” Reynolds added.
He went on to say that B.C. is home to some of the ‘coolest older people on earth’ – including David Suzuki and his mother, Tammy.
“She doesn’t want to be cooped up in her apartment all day. She wants to be out there cruising Kitsilano Beach, looking for some young 30-something Abercrombie burnout to go full Mrs. Robinson on,” Reynolds said.
“She is insatiable. But here’s the thing. I hope that young people in B.C. don’t kill my mom, frankly, or David Suzuki, or each other. Let’s not kill anyone. I think that’s reasonable.”
