Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds recently took a class in CPR again, after quite some time. He took to Instagram and posted a picture with a caption that revealed the actor once saved his nephew’s life because he knew CPR. Raising awareness about the need to know the procedure, the actor thanked his teacher at Viva First Aid.

Years ago, I took a CPR course thru the Red Cross. And holy shit, I ended up saving my nephew's life because I knew what to do! True story! Yesterday I took a refresher course -- focusing on infant and toddler CPR. It takes only a few hours and it's also kinda, sorta fun. Thank you to Dan from Viva First Aid for the lesson. And thank you to these two helpful yet lifeless dolls whose vacant ocular cavities will haunt me until end times.
