After he lost a bet, actor Ryan Reynolds had his colonoscopy filmed. His doctor detected a polyp, which can be a precursor to cancer. He's now urging others to get screened for colon cancer.
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesWhat began as a friendly bet between Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney turned into a life-saving, teachable moment.
"I made a bet. I lost. But it still paid off," Reynolds wrote on YouTube, as part of a public awareness campaign for colon cancer. It all started last year when the pair, who co-own a Welsh soccer club, made a bet of whether McElhenney could learn to speak Welsh. If McElhenney, who stars in, won the wager, Reynolds agreed to publicly film his colonoscopy.
But while keeping his side of the bargain, Reynolds' doctor detected a benign polyp — tissue growths which can be a precursor to cancer.
