Imagine attending your regular college class on a Wednesday, when suddenly an A-list Hollywood film star walks into your class. The students of journalism at Canada’s Seneca College experienced something like this when Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds showed up during one of their practical studio sessions.
As per local reports, Reynolds was taking a tour of Seneca College on Tuesday when he went inside a journalism studio. He not only greeted the students but also shot a mock broadcast with them. Now a video of Reynolds speaking in front of a greenscreen with coffee in his hands as he reads from the teleprompter is going viral.
This video was posted online by Canadian television broadcaster Sid Seixeiro on Thursday. It has so far gathered over 1.9 lakh likes.
True story: two journalism students at Seneca College in Toronto on Wednesday were honing their craft in studio. Ryan Reynolds, who was getting a tour of the school at the time, not only dropped by to say hello, but contributed to the broadcast. This guy’s amazing. pic.twitter.com/2yQIRkPijl

In the video, students are heard suppressing their laughter in the background. The actor reads an update about American talk show host Dr Phil’s decision of discontinuing his popular chat show. At some point, he stops reading from the teleprompter and says “are you with me here?”, while referring to the star-stuck student next to him.
Thank you for the tour, @SenecaCollege. Wish something like this existed when I was starting out. #SenecaProud pic.twitter.com/6dSiCoFLZH

As Reynolds continues the broadcast shooting with the student, other students in the background burst into cheers. At the end of the segment, the actor notes, “You probably need to get that prompter moving a little faster next time,” before quickly adding, “That’s my fault, not yours.”
