Actor Ryan Reynolds chided other celebrities for social media posts suggesting they can influence people to practice social distancing and follow other measures U.S. health officials have asked citizens to follow to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“I think, in times of crisis, I think we all know that it’s the celebrities that we count on most. They’re the ones that are going to get us through this,” Reynolds said. “Right after healthcare workers, of course. First responders. People who work in essential services. Ping-pong players. Mannequins — they’re great. Childhood imaginary friends, sure. Like, 400 other types of people.”
