Ryan Reynolds helps fan celebrate healthcare worker wife's birthday after she tested positive for coronavirus
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has put us all in danger but none quite as much as our healthcare workers. Being directly exposed to people infected with the virus, doctors and nurses are constantly in danger of being infected.
When one such nurse, Caroline Seguin, tested positive for COVID-19, her husband, James Seguin, decided to make her birthday special despite the circumstances. And he roped in Ryan Reynolds to help him do it.
"@VancityReynolds my wife and I live in Windsor and she works as an RN in Michigan," he tweeted. "We just found out today she tested positive for COVID-19. So we are all officially on lockdown... more than she had us before. We have a 6 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl. So we can’t leave our yard or go for a car ride... April 8th is her birthday. Unfortunately or probably fortunately in her eyes we are going to have to do something creative in the house for her birthday... she doesn’t have Twitter. But 'Definitely Maybe' you could send her a birthday wish and a thank you that would be 'the nines'."
The 'Deadpool' actor was quick to respond, replying with a tweet asking, "What’s your wife’s name?"
This is hardly the first time Reynolds has done something like this but fans are still extremely happy seeing such a heartwarming display of kindness.
"Ryan Reynolds you are the best," one fan tweeted. "God damn you are a kind person." Another fan wrote, "Thank you for being such a kind soul."
"You and Blake are my forever favorite," yet another fan declared. "So humble & kind, all the love from Gatineau & all our health care workers #HealthcareHeroes #MD."
"Literally only buying @AviationGin now because of this," another fan wrote. "No more 6 dollar military special gin for me."
One fan went a step ahead and found the information Reynolds needed for him. "Found a post from him adding his wife’s Instagram profile," the fan wrote. "Here’s her information @VancityReynolds and happy birthday to her and safe recovery for you all!!"
We can't wait to see how this story unfolds and we'll be keeping an eye out for more such gestures from one of our all-time favorite actors.
