Believe it or not, there are people out there who don't get the appeal of Ryan Reynolds. Crazy, right? The great thing about the actor isn't just his insanely good looks — he has a personality and heart to match. His latest good deed will be taking place Nov. 2 in New York City, where he plans to run a marathon in honor of his father, who is suffering from Parkinson's. Here's an excerpt from his admittedly touching article in the Huffington Post, in which he reveals his hope to become "the first person in history to sob uncontrollably for 26.2 miles straight":
I've watched my father — a strong and proud person who successfully raised 4 arguably insane children - slowly, cruely stripped of his independence. His golden years robbed without explanation. It quite obviously sucks. Witnessing my Dad suffer over the years galvanized my need to step up. On November 2nd, I'll join thousands of other men and women to march in lockstep solidarity toward searing psychic pain and physical humilation.
So how many of you Hags like to run?

I'd definitely run with him, if you get my drift.
Sadly…I think my love of Reynolds is drifting. He looks oddly like a ferret in that picture, and I do not condone anal sex with ferrets.
if i lived anywhere close to new york i would go.
Can I soup up a Jazzy? I will totes go!
Running. Blech! Everyhag knows how much I hate and detest running. ;))) Marathons are for … ummm… people who like running. Not me. NOT ME!
Well I can't respect anyone who is doing something just because J.Lo did it.
Well, if he's shirtless, I'm so in.
I only run when something scary is chasing me . . . or when I'm chasing Ryan Reynolds.
I will never forgive ScarJo.
Truth, if Ryan were in front of us at this thing, you'd see a horde of haglets running the entire marathon with gusto and continuing to run until we realized there was no way his front door would wear down from our continued running.
As a devoted "hag", I think that all of the hags should insist upon a lap dance from Ryan at the finish line. I think that would sell. Not me personally. Peen don't turn me on.
I hate running, and I am not a hag, but I would like to go and trip Scarjo and trample her big boobies into the ground.
Maybe if we could each do a leg of it? 26.2 is 20 too many for me. I'll chip in 5, tops. And then pass on the baton! What could our baton be?
Me. I'm not running but I can be the baton. Do I have to be awake the whole time?
I'm running the Chicago marathon this Sunday, and I sure as hell would be running a little faster if there was a Reynolds in front of me.
way to brag, jdog - look at me! i can run a marathon! Well, bully for you!!
Just kidding (and jealous of your athleticism) - good luck this weekend - may you have a great run!
