Jackman adds, \"For generations, it's been a point of family honor to oppose each other.\"

\"But for one day, we've agreed to not disagree,\" Reynolds notes, explaining \"only a pandemic could make that happen.\"

This isn't even the most charitable thing Reynolds has done this month. A few days ago, he took to Instagram to hawk a \"boring as f---\" black shirt that reads, \"CONQUER COVID-19.\" All of the proceeds for the \"horrific\" shirt will go to buying personal protective equipment for first responders in Reynolds' native Canada.

Additionally, Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively have personally donated $400,000 to buy masks and other gear for New York City hospitals. He's given a million dollars to benefit North American food banks and even donated 30% of his Aviation Gin bottle sales to relief efforts.

Check out some other famous figures who are raising awareness to food banks and various relief initiatives here.
