Ryan Reynolds is opening up about a very scary incident that happened over 30 years.
In an interview with close friend and his Wrexham AFC co-owner Rob Mac for GQ, the 49-year-old Deadpool actor recalled the gruesome injuries he sustained after being hit by a drunk driver as a teenager.
“I got run over by a drunk driver after making a firmly positive and wise decision for a young, 18-year-old male,” Ryan began. “Spent four weeks in the hospital.”
“That’s the first time I’ve heard that!” Rob exclaimed.
“Oh yeah, broke every bone in my left side,” Ryan continued. “He hit me so hard, his car was not operational.”
He jokingly added, “I’d like to thank Dr. Meek at the General Hospital for putting me back together so kindly. Socialized medicine, he couldn’t say no.”
Ryan previously spoke about the incident in a 2011 interview with CTV News.
“I woke up three days later,” Ryan recalled, adding that his late dad, James Reynolds, was sitting in his hospital room with a “vomit tray.”
“I guess I had been heaving in my unconscious,” he explained. “And nothing says love like painting someone with three-day-old Gin Rummies. Just soaked the man head to toe in my vomit.”
The Green Lantern actor joked that he hasn’t been the same since the accident, saying, “I’ve been a rickety, broken mess.”
In another recent interview, Ryan shared some very rare public comments about wife Blake Lively‘s It Ends With Us legal battle.
