Recently Ryan Reynolds, well-known Canadian actor, comedian, screenwriter and film producer and known among the nerdy audience mainly for playing Dead Pool and appearing in the latest film adaptation Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, participated in a video collaboration with Steve Spohn di AbleGamer to promote the charity. For the uninitiated, this is an American non-profit organization and a foundation dedicated to improve accessibility in the video game space, allowing more people with disabilities to play by providing them with resources and equipment. Reynolds opens the video, which you can conveniently find on the cover, explaining how Spohn asked for his help in promoting the charity stating:
My friend Steve Spohn asked me to step in and help spread the word about this incredible initiative he's involved in. But, full disclosure, he offered to pay me the $ 278 million fee, which I'm used to by now.
After this declaration, the camera moves to Spohn who, after a moment of silence, replies in a very confused way, "I did what?!". Obviously the video is a playful and fun way to promote an extraordinary cause, trying to reach as many people as possible thanks to the great fame and irreverence of Ryan Reynolds.
For 15 years I have been telling people how video games improve the quality of life of people with disabilities
But to really give it my all, I asked my friend @VancityReynolds to help me support @AbleGamers' mission
Will you join us?
