(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Ryan Reynolds has revealed he was hit by a drunk driver at the age of 19.

The actor said that ironically, the accident happened when he was walking home sober after a night out.

Describing his injuries, he said he was knocked unconscious and broke several bones.

"When I was 19 I was drinking. I was at a bar and I had a few drinks and I thought, 'You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave my car here, be responsible.' I started to walk home and I was hit by a drunk driver. I broke every bone in my left side. I woke up three days later," he told a Canadian TV station.

The Green Lantern star also remembered some further unpleasant side effects of being unconscious.

The star, who is known for his deadpan sense of humour, described how he accidentally covered his father in sick while he was passed out.

"And I remember my dad sitting there [with] a vomit tray. I guess I had been heaving in my unconscious. And nothing says love like painting someone in three-day-old Gin Rummies. Just soaked the man head to toe in my vomit," Ryan said. (C) Cover Media
