Ryan Reynolds Talks About Running In The NYC Marathon This Sunday

 

On Friday, hunky Ryan Reynolds talked a little bit about his plans to run in the New York City Marathon this Sunday, November 2, 2008.   Although the actor admits he never thought he would run in one…

“I would sooner be prime minister of the moon than run another marathon.  I’ve been really lucky. I didn’t have any toenails fall off or anything disgusting like that. I still have all three nipples.”

He also said his new wife, actress Scarlett Johansson, has been giving him a lot of love and support, and would be there on Sunday to support him:

“She’ll be on the road somewhere.  She better be.”

Reynolds started training for the event five months ago because he “is not a born runner.”

He announced in September he would run on behalf of the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Ryan credits his father, Jim Reynolds, “who’s spent the last 15 years in a life or death struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.” With his dad as inspiration, Reynolds joined Team Fox and has already raised $80,011.08 for the Foundation’s mission to cure Parkinson’s.
