Ryan Reynolds hit by car

Ryan Reynolds is ''OK'' after he was hit by a car in a hotel parking lot on Friday (10.04.15)

The 38-year-old actor is currently filming 'Deadpool' in Vancouver, Canada and was struck by a vehicle in the parking lot of the Shangri-La hotel in the city, though he was unhurt. Police Constable Brian Montague confirmed: ''We attended and investigated the hit and run in the parking lot on Friday and there were no injuries.''

Ryan - who has four-month-old daughter James with wife Blake Lively - was struck by a paparazzi photographer but the unnamed driver fled the scene afterwards. His spokesperson, Leslie Sloane, said: ''While walking, Ryan was struck by a paparazzi driving a car through an underground parking garage.

''The man fled the scene. Ryan is OK.'' A representative for the hotel confirmed emergency services had been called immediately after ''a guest'' was ''involved in a motor vehicle incident'' and that they are co-operating fully with police investigating what happened.

The 'Green Lantern' star joked about the incident on Twitter when a reporter asked how he was doing and gave him his phone number for a reaction. Referring to a popular Canadian TV series which ran from 1972 to 1990, he replied: ''Put Beachcombers back on the air and I'll call.''
