In a video released by the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, Danny posted a heartfelt and hilarious request for people to follow social distancing recommendations and stay home.
"I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart, all over the state of New York, stay home," he said, then emphasized, "I mean everybody."
"This pandemic, and you know, young people can get it, and they can transmit it to old people, and the next thing you know, I'm out of here."
In a video exclusively released by Entertainment Weekly Danny spends fifteen glorious minutes calmly and wonderfully reading from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax out loud.
Danny voiced the titular Lorax in the 2012 movie version of the novel, the message of which strongly ties to Earth Day, as the story is about environmental preservation and the importance of standing up for the cause.
You can watch the video for yourself on the Entertainment Weekly website, where you will hopefully feel passionate about environmental conservation and feel overall soothed by Danny's wonderful presence just like I did!
