Back in 1996, Ryan Reynolds suffered grave injuries after he was hit by a drunk driver while walking home. Recalling the incident, Reynolds shared in a 2019 Global Grind interview, “I was 19, in Vancouver, Canada (the drinking age is different there). I’d had a couple of drinks, and I didn’t want to get in my car … I walked home, and on my way home, I got hit by a drunk driver!”
As a result, the actor had multiple bones fractured on the left side of his body. He was promptly taken to a hospital, where he didn’t regain consciousness until three days after the accident. As he told CTV News back in 2011, “Since [the accident], I’ve been a rickety, broken mess.” (via US Magazine)
However, to this day, whenever Reynolds has talked about the almost deadly accident, he has never failed to make the interviewer or the audience laugh. As he recollected during the CTV News interview, when he finally woke up from the coma, his father was right by his side and drenched in vomit. The actor jokingly told the publication, “Nothing says love like painting someone with three-day-old Gin Rummies. Just soaked the man head to toe in my vomit.”
