Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he saved his nephew's life because of his first aid knowledge of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
As a result, the Deadpool star, who has fathered two young daughters with wife and former Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, is keen to encourage other people to learn CPR so they can help in a similar situation.
He posted a photo of himself on Instagram after attending a CPR course, revealing that he once saved his nephew's life because of the knowledge he gained.
He wrote: "Years ago, I took a CPR course thru the Red Cross. And holy shit, I ended up saving my nephew's life because I knew what to do!
"True story! Yesterday I took a refresher course - focusing on infant and toddler CPR. It takes only a few hours and it's also kinda, sorta fun.
"Thank you to Dan from Viva First Aid for the lesson. And thank you to these two helpful yet lifeless dolls whose vacant ocular cavities will haunt me until end times."
