Details of the Question and Actor’s Response
The child proceeded to ask,
“Why is there so much Chipotle mayo on your Tim Horton breakfast?”
to which Reynolds answered sarcastically,
“You know what, I wish I had some control over that. I can send a strongly-worded letter to the chef over at Tim Hortons.”
He then added,
“Consider it done, young man. What’s your name? Liam? I’ll make it downright vicious, but I’ll say it’s from you, though,”
