Ryan Reynolds has teamed up with AbleGamers to highlight the good work the charity does for disabled gamers.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, AbleGamers COO Steven Spohn shared a fun clip of himself and the Hollywood actor talking about the importance of making video games more inclusive, to help combat isolation and to improve the quality of life for those with disabilities.
