Ryan Reynolds is currently social distancing with his three young daughters, which means he spent a chunk of Wednesday making dresses from tissue paper.

But he also managed to sneak away for a quick video chat with Stephen Colbert, during which the two drank gin and spoke about life in quarantine.

"We are doing a lot of homeschooling, we're lucky enough to have a little tiny garden, so we're learning a bit about gardening," explains Reynolds in the clip above. "We're trying to make this an educational experience, but I'm mostly drinking."

The two also chat about ways people can give back (Reynolds and Blake Lively have donated $1 million to food banks), Reynolds' appreciation for the service industry, and his excitement/mild concern regarding his plans for a DIY haircut.
