Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
"A giant f***ing mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action. It doesn't mean you won't f**k up again. But repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn't end," he added.
During the Black Lives Matter movement in June after the killing of George Floyd, Reynolds and Lively had released a lengthy statement about their own misgivings while dealing with racial topics. The couple both posted the same statement on their Instagram accounts, announcing they had donated USD 200,000 to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People) Legal Defense Fund.
"We've never had to worry about preparing our kids for different rules of law or what might happen if we're pulled over in the car. We don't know what it's like to experience that life day in and day out.
"We can't imagine feeling that kind of fear and anger. We're ashamed that in the past we've allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how deeply rooted systemic racism is," they had said in the joint statement.
