In the video -- shot inside what looks like a cave -- the actor offers words of hope, drops a John Lennon cover and thanks fans for their “unwavering support” (via toofab)
"Hi everyone," he began in the video, which appeared to be filmed inside a candle-filled cave. "This is my first experience within the world of social media. I've never done any of this before. I don't think I really ever felt any particular reason to until now."
"Now is the time to open up a dialogue as the threat of this invisible enemy has already caused immeasurable tragedies and enormous damage in people’s lives," he continued, referencing the coronavirus pandemic. "People are ill and without care, people are getting sick and fighting for death.
He then urged viewers to "try and help each other throughout these trying times" and stay inside their homes, before adding that, "Through caring, we'll help each other and we'll prevail." Telling his new audience to stay "close to the ones we love," he also said "We must not succumb to shutting down and giving in to what feels like hellish quarantine monotony. We need to keep ourselves curious. This time in isolation can be used for great learning."Recalling his reaction to his own children telling him they were "bored" growing up, he said he'd tell them "boredom's not allowed ... there's always something to do.
He ended his video "on a more personal note," thanking his fans "for your kindness, your unwavering support and your strength over these years. I'm touched beyond words."
