    Good for him for using his platform for bringing light to this illness. He ix also a supporter of the Terry Fox Foundation. Proud he is a fellow Canadian 😊

    Wow…I’m sorry but how can you not love Ryan Reynolds? Have since the pizza store sitcom where I first noticed him. Watched my dad go through the same thing as his, and the last couple years of this disease are brutal. I feel like he’s describing my father. How he’s managed to remain such a genuinely good person after 25+ years in Hollywood is astounding.

    Thank you ❤ it’s important that people understand that the disease is more than just shaking. Swallowing becomes difficult, hallucinations are common, requiring heavy duty antipsychotics are required 🥲

    My grandfather had Parkinsons disease, i don’t know when he was diagnosed but I learned about it 4 years before he passed. Some of the things mentioned in this video I remember pretty well, hallucinations also was something I noticed from conversations, I’m glad this disease is being discussed.

      @@teresayeates3437 Definition of condolence is "sympathy with another in sorrow". How can you have sympathy for a dead person? They cannot feel or appreciate your sympathy. Might make sense if you wish to express sympathy for the suffering they endured in the process of dying. But usually, sympathy is for those left behind

    As much as I admire his advocacy for Parkinson’s. He talked about this a year ago. Doing this interview now is giving PR damage control. Blake trying to defame and ruin (an avid advocate for domestic violence victims and kindness for over a decade) Justin Baldoni’s career after railroading him off his own film. It’s giving SUS. He and his wife should’ve kept the same advocacy level for victims of domestic violence. It rings hollow right now. Like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis siding with Danny Masterson while being chairman of the board of THORN.

    The timing here... Trying to save face by showing himself as an advocate of Parkinson's desease to cover up his and his wife's utter disregard for Domestic Violence. They're playing their little PR games, but everyone sees through them. Doing this interview won't save you image after you tried to take over a movie about domestic violence, tu turn it into a platform for your wife's ego, her flowery dresses, her alcohol products and new hair line.
