Video: Ryan Reynolds Bids $25K For Jonathan Groff's Hat at JUST IN TIME
The Deadpool star donated $25,000 to Broadway Cares at Groff's final performance.
Ryan Reynolds had quite the Sunday night in the basement of Wicked! At Jonathan Groff's final performance in Just in Time on Broadway, the Deadpool star donated $25,000 to Broadway Cares for Groff's 'Bobby Darin' hat.
The hat was just part of Just in Time's Broadway Cares fundraising activities, with the cast also spanking Groff for every $5,000 that was raised. Since Reynolds bid $25,000, the cast spanked the Tony-winner five times. Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, can be seen sitting behind him.

Similar to Reynolds' Broadway Cares bid at Just in Time, Nicole Kidman once donated $100,000 to the charity for Hugh Jackman's hat at The Music Man in 2022.
