Ryan Reynolds appeared on Rachel Ray's daytime talk show today to discuss running the New York City marathon earlier this month and show off his winning sense of humor and stunning good looks. When asked about his main fear of bleeding nipples, he responded that "all three nipples are fine": "I was really concerned because I was at the finish line two years ago, and I watched these people coming in and it was like watching the music video to 'Thriller.' It was really horrifying to watch, and I thought what am I going to do about this? … I was like, should I wear a running bra? Will people know?"

Michael J. Fox also made a surprise appearance on the episode, which nearly brought tears to our eyes. Don't ask why; Reynolds just has that power.

Ryan Reynolds ran the ING New York City Marathon yesterday, finishing with a time of 3 hours and 50 minutes with no Scarlett Johansson in sight. Upon completing the race for Michael J. Fox's team, he said he planned to "allow three to four hours for [his] scary marathon face to go away" and then expressed interest in eating his body weight "in raw dough." Adorable!

If you'll recall, Ryan ran the grueling 26-plus miles to raise money for Parkinson's Disease, a condition that his father has suffered from for 15 years. He said he thought a lot about his father and Michael during the race: "I'm running for those who can't." He can truly do no wrong.

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?
