No matter how big of a star you are, the process for getting tested for COVID-19 is the same for everyone. Including Ryan Reynolds.

The production of Netflix’s upcoming action flick Red Notice was put on delay in March due to the pandemic. Now, Ryan Reynolds and his acting colleagues are returning to work. But before they did, they had to take a COVID-19 test.

“Back to work on #RedNotice. The Covid Test is quick and easy. The doctor places the swab up your nose, just deep enough to tickle your childhood memories, and then it’s over,” the actor wrote below the photos from before, during, and after the nasal swab. “No matter what you say to him, he won’t buy you dinner first,” he continued.

A week before Ryan and Gal shared photos of them getting tested, their costar “The Rock” revealed that he and his family had tested positive for the virus, but have since recovered. “I wanted to give you guys a little helpful update on things that have been going on on my end for the past two-and-a-half to three weeks now,” the actor shared in a video. “So the update is this: my wife Lauren as well as my two baby girls and myself, we have all tested positive for COVID-19.”

“But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good. We’re on the other end of it, we’re on the other side. We’re no longer contagious, and we are—thank God—we are healthy,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson continued.
