"Watching a little [Sesame Street] with the kiddo, and it's an episode with [Ryan Reynolds] and the gang doing an A-Team gag," one fan tweeted. "It's a delight, for both me and the kiddo."

Watching a little @sesamestreet with the kiddo, and its an episode with @VancityReynolds and the gang doing an A-Team gag. Its a delight, for both me and the kiddo.

And Ryan's response to that fan...truly had the internet shocked.

"I remember how challenging it was to sing because the A-hole was so tight," he wrote on Twitter. "But I pushed through because kids all over the country were counting on me."
