Ryan Reynolds awarded Governor General’s award with song tribute

Ryan Reynolds - who recently starred in Netflix's action-comedy, Red Notice, alongside Gal Gadot and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - was awarded the Governor General’s award over on Friday, which brought the Free Guy actor to tears at finding out the news!

Hollywood superstar and Canadian fan favorite Ryan Reynolds was honored on Friday with a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and a touching video including an original song by one of the Barenaked Ladies co-founders.

The Deadpool actor is well known for his frequent tributes to his hometown of Vancouver and support for Canadian causes. On Friday he publicized a donation to the Canadian Red Cross for B.C. flood victims and urged fans to follow his lead.

Ryan Reynolds posted a video of the new song featuring musician Steven Page proclaiming “Canada loves you back” that showed the actor’s emotional reaction as he watched, wearing his new medal.

“A genuine Canadian icon, like Shatner or Alex Trebek, you’re almost as juicy as Bruno Gerussi and much better known in Quebec,” Page sings in one section of the humorous song. Check out the post below!
