Ryan Reynolds On “The Whale” With Humane Society

Ryan Reynolds narrates a film produced by the Humane Society of the United States about an orca named Luna and the many complex and beautiful traits marine animals like it posesses.
Reynolds spoke with the HSUS on his motivations for contributing his time to The Whale.
He became interested in Luna after his brother–who works as a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman near Nootka Sound where Luna lived–told him his firsthand accounts.
“The story was so compelling,” Reynolds told the HSUS. “The idea that this creature challenged so much of our presumptions about wildlife. That a whale could, would and did reach across that line to connect with us is mystifying. Scientists often debunk the idea that a mammal could experience emotions and/or feelings similar to ours. Luna did this. Luna showed it’s possible for a creature—even a whale—to crave connection. Not only needing this connection but demanding it.”
