"Covid-19 has brutally impacted older adults and love revenue families," Reynolds wrote. "Blake and I are donating $1 million to be split between FEEDING AMERICA and FOOD BANKS CANADA." He didn't indicate how much from the total donation would go to each agency, although it will probably simply be split in half.

"(Hugh Jackman‘s # is 1-555-😢-HUGH)." Naturally, it's not a real number.

"I think we can all agree, Covid-19 is an asshole. If you’re able to help, visit, @feedingamerica and @foodbankscanada," he captioned his message.

"Watching the news I couldn’t imagine how scary it could be if a new infection was effecting my partner and my friend and relative Bieber wrote. "China we stand with you as a collective humanity… Whether it be this or the fires of Australia we all need to be there for each other."


It's a hard time that we're all going through now, nevertheless gestures like these are definitely still very much appreciated.
