Leave it to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to serve up their philanthropy with a side of comedy. The power couple has pledged a million dollars to charitable food bank organizations in both the US and Canada – Ryan’s home country – in the wake of the coronavirus situation.
“COVID-19 has brutally impacted older adults and low income families,” Ryan shared on Twitter. “Blake [and] I are donating $1 million to be split between FEEDING AMERICA and FOOD BANKS CANADA. If you can give, these [organizations] need our help.”
After encouraging people to take care of themselves and “leave room for joy,” the “Deadpool” star added, “Call someone who’s isolated and might need connection.” He concluded his message with, “Hugh Jackman’s # is 1-555-[crying emoji]-HUGH.” So far, Hugh – with whom he has a friendly rivalry – hasn’t responded.
