Ryan Reynolds, the 48-year-old actor, recently took to social media to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. On December 2nd, he shared a carousel of memories that included a video montage of funny moments between them. In one of his jokes, he recalled the first time he saw his mom, sitting in the backyard with a flashlight and dozing off, only to be startled when she waddled out of the shed. He also shared an adventure of riding his bike from their dry desert home into a nearby deciduous rainforest and an even more extraordinary experience of flying into the air with his mom while she whispered "Elliot" in a low groan. Continuing the theme, he joked about his mom waddling back into her spacecraft and leaving Earth forever. But amidst the jokes, he also expressed his genuine love for his mom, writing "Happy Birthday mom. You are the best mom. We love you. Your grandbabies love you. Most importantly, [Hugh Jackman] loves you."
