We all know Jimmy Fallon is the king of breaking (the act of giggling through a take so badly you just can’t continue) but we didn’t know Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was also a giggler, and according to our Prime Minister of Hotness (and unofficial face of the quarantine kindness) Ryan Reynolds, it doesn’t take much to make The Rock a pile of chuckling (muscly) mush.“I think one of the reasons I've been friends with him for a long time is that he really laughs at himself,” Ryan said via video chat on
The Tonight Show (weeknights at 11:35 ET on CTV2), “So if you kind of parrot back his thing that he's doing in the movie—Like, if his line is like, ‘I’m special agent John Harvey of the FBI,’ and if you parrot it back, just 27% faster with a swear word, like, ‘I’m special agent John Harvey of the FBI, mother******!’ he just, like—he's gone. He leaves the room, and he never comes back.”Wow. Good trick to use if you’re ever stuck between The Rock and a hard place. Thank you.
Dwayne and Ryan were working on their new film,
Red Notice together (also starring
Wonder Woman Gal Gadot) before production was shut down amid the COVID-19 global pandemic. Ryan is now quarantined at home with wife Blake Lively, their
three daughters, and
his mother-in-law and it looks like things might be a little chaotic.“It really does vacillate between a deep, beautiful connection, and then, suddenly, it’s the third act of
Aliens,” Ryan deadpanned. “I'm having a totally normal conversation with a 3-year-old, then she's spitting acid in my face, and I’m running for my life in the belly of the ship and wearing nothing but a tank top, sweaty as hell... Like, ‘What do you want for dinner, sweet, sweet angel?’ And she's like, I WANT CHEERIOS!’”[video_embed id='1951847']RELATED: Ryan Reynolds delivers commencement speech to former high school[/video_embed]Ryan is obviously the master at cracking silly jokes and making us laugh, which is sorely needed during these strange and uncertain times, but when it came to talking about Teacher Appreciation Day, he had nothing but glowing praise for a very special teacher in his life—his brother Patrick who teaches grades 3 and 4 at Coyote Creek Elementary in B.C.“He brings something special and magical to those kids each and every day, and I'm really proud of him,” Ryan gushed, before speaking about his other brother Terry who is a first responder with the RCMP. No wonder Ryan is doing all he can at this time to help out everyone in need—it's in his blood.Although cooped up, Ryan has been making good use of his time lately, donating profits from his
gin company to out-of-work bartenders, raising funds for COVID relief by selling
a boring T-shirt, donating to
food banks, and by participating in the
Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble broadcast recently.Watch
