- Ryan Reynolds nearly missed a guest appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark after being stuck in traffic for two hours.
- Just minutes before the show, he sent a frantic and hilarious text to the hosts detailing his stressful journey.
- On air, Reynolds read the entire “intimate” text, which included self-deprecating jokes about his age and co-host Mark Consuelos.
- The actor and hosts shared a candid moment about the intense anxiety that comes with the fear of being late.
A Last-Minute Arrival Causes On-Set Panic
A collective sigh of relief was felt on the set of Live with Kelly and Mark as Ryan Reynolds made a last-minute entrance, narrowly avoiding missing his scheduled appearance. “Thank you for getting here,” host Kelly Ripa told him, acknowledging the behind-the-scenes stress.
The drama began just five minutes before the show went live when the hosts received a text from the Deadpool star. “We weren’t sure either,” Ripa admitted, referring to whether he would make it. Reynolds, clearly still feeling the anxiety from his commute, offered to share the now-famous message with the world.
The Hilarious Text Revealed
Taking out his phone, Reynolds read the text he sent while trapped in traffic. “Morning, I gave myself two full hours from upstate but I’m sitting on the Hudson, which can only be described as the second act of Sharknado 10,” he began.
The actor’s signature wit was on full display as he detailed his options. He joked that one map suggested he “could get here earlier if I did the worm for 50 blocks,” but lamented, “I’m 48 and I’d rather get a vasectomy the normal way.”
A Jab at Mark and Shared Anxiety
Reynolds also included a light-hearted jab at Mark Consuelos, writing, “The good news is I’m dressed and I don’t care about makeup the way Mark does. I’ll walk right out there like I’m starring in a damn Dove commercial, celebrating my inner beauty.”
The audience erupted in laughter as he concluded the message. Mark consoled the actor, saying, “I hate being late too. That feeling takes about a year off your life.” Reynolds agreed, quipping, “Yeah that definitely shortened the time I have left with my children.”
