Rick Moranis is widely considered one of the greatest comedic actors of not just the 80s and 90s but typically all time. He’s genuinely considered one of the nicest people and that’s what makes this so much harder to understand. It was reported this morning that Moranis was punched in the head while walking down the street in New York City.
BNO News shared a shocking video of the incident, where you can see Moranis walking down the street before being blindly attacked by a man approaching him. The video is disturbing to watch and police are actively looking for the man.

Rick Moranis Attacked On The Streets – Ryan Reynolds Comments On The Event
Ryan Reynolds, whom just had Moranis on a commercial for Mint Mobile (and Moranis’ first on-screen appearance in 20 years) commented on the attack on Twitter saying,
“Should have known not to subject Rick to the year 2020. Glad to hear he’s okay.”
Thankfully, it’s reported that Moranis is doing fine after the attack.
“Rick Moranis was assaulted on the Upper West Side yesterday. He is fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes,” a spokesperson for the actor said Friday in a statement to The Times.
This is a very disturbing thing that happened and it’s hard to imagine any punching a 67-year-old in the head. Hopefully, this won’t deter Moranis from being seen in a huge ad like that again, or even possibly a movie role.
We’re thankful he’s doing well and look forward to seeing this man again soon.
