Oh no! So glad you’re okay, Ry Ry!
Ryan Reynolds is opening up about his horrifying experience when he was hit by a drunk driver as a teen.
At the age of 19, Ryan was drinking with some friends (it’s legal to drink at the age of 18 in Canada) and decided to “be responsible” and walk home instead of getting behind the wheel.
On his way home, he was struck by a drunk driver and had to be rushed to the hospital.
His condition was serious. He spent three days in a coma and was extremely hurt from the collision. He recalls:
“Broke every bone in my left side…I woke up three days later. And I remember my dad sitting there… (with) a vomit tray. And I guess I had been heaving in my unconscious. And nothing says love like painting someone with three-day-old Gin Rummies. Just soaked the man head to toe in my vomit. Since then, I├óΓé¼Γäóve been a rickety, broken mess.”
So terrifying. We are just so thankful that you are okay and didn’t get more badly injured.
This should be a lesson, kids. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE EVER. Seriously. Think twice before getting behind the wheel even if you’ve only had one drink. It’s just not worth it.
