Ryan Reynolds asks young people in Canada to please not kill his mother by spreading the coronavirus


The request came Friday, when Provincial Prime Minister John Horgan posted a video on Twitter asking for help from British Columbia residents to reach out to young people about the dangers of partying during the coronavirus pandemic. Horgan called Reynolds and Seth Rogen for help.

Reynolds answered the call.

In a light-hearted, 90-second memo, in which Reynolds repeatedly said that people probably did not want medical advice from him, he called the party “dangerous.”

“You young people in BC: Yes, they’re partying, that’s obviously dangerous, and they probably do not know that thousands of young people do not just get coronavirus, that they die there too,” said the “Deadpool” actor.

Meanwhile, Reynolds continued, the virus has affected the most vulnerable in the province and its elderly residents – specifically people like his mother.

“My mom, I mean, she does not want to be cooped up in her apartment all day; she wants to be there on Kitsilano Beach, looking for some 30-something Abercrombie outburst to fill with Mrs. Robinson,” he joked. .

“But here’s the thing. I hope young people in BC don’t kill my mother, honestly, like (environmental scientist) David Suzuki, like each other,” Reynolds said. “Let’s not kill anyone. I find that ridiculous.”

British Columbia, home of Vancouver, is the third most populous province of Canada. To date, the region has seen just over 4,000 cases of the coronavirus, according to the latest government data. Ontario and Quebec, the two largest provinces in Canada by population, have combined more than 100,000 cases.
