The gold-medal performance of Canadian ice dancing duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir resulted in a flood of praise and awe from fans on Twitter. One of those tweets happened to be from fellow Canadian and Hollywood superstar, Ryan Reynolds.
Vancouver-born Reynolds is married to Blake Lively and has two children with the actress. The âDeadpoolâ actor is known for being a funny guy on social media with past posts on both and , so his tweet on Monday came as no surprise.
Go !!@CassieSharpe is a legend â makinâ it look easy. And thank you & for agreeing to raise my children as your own.
â Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds)
In the tweet, Reynolds praised Team Canada, freestyle skier Cassie Sharpe, and Virtue and Moir. âGo @TeamCanada!! @CassieSharpe is a legend â makinâ it look easy,â he wrote. Reynolds continued, âAnd thank you @tessavirtue & @ScottMoir for agreeing to raise my children as your own.â
Virtue, who has said along with Moir that they will be retiring from competition, came up with the perfect response earlier today.
âAnd here Iâve been wracking my brain to come up with a post-competition career path ... Scott, get the mini van!â said the skating star.
