Most of us have lost count of the days we’ve been in quarantine, working at home in pajamas and forgetting when we last went outdoors.
It was a normal day at “Good Morning America” on ABC. Things were casually done as they should be done, as reporters gave their telecast from their homes while the anchors sat on the set of the GMA. Will Reeve was the correspondent for the day, and things seemed a little awkward, but it took several minutes before the general public took delight in what was a simple mistake: Will Reeve forgot to wear long pants on broadcast, and he showed his bare legs for all to see in a live nation-wide broadcast!
The segment itself was innocuous, as it was surely a very helpful segment that told viewers about the usages of drones and how they would help deliver prescription medicines and much needed supplies to the patients in quarantine.
It was supposed to be very solemn, no humor intended as he had worn a very nice suit on top. Twitter got the better of him, and the hashtag inundation ensued the moment they noticed his very, ah, “ample and succulent” legs, according to one user.
Reeve took it all in good spirit, although we may never know his true reaction. He thus tweeted, in blind resignation: “I have ARRIVED… In the most hilariously mortifying way possible.” Reeve had to disappoint some people, with reassuring everyone he’d been wearing shorts, not full commando.
He joked that “[I] won’t be getting hired as a camera operator ‘any time soon.'”

Will Reeve happens to be the son of the Superman star, Christopher Reeve and actress Dana, both late couples. The former has sadly parted ways with Will early on his life as Christopher passed away in 2004 when his son was just a growing age of 12.
It was not the first tragedy to hit the Reeve’s, as Christopher also sustained a complete neck-down paralysis due to a horse riding accident with severe spinal injuries. However, the family took it in stride, as they founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation that would help similar paralysis patients to get proper research and treatment for their symptoms.
The organization is now renamed as the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Will is on the board of directors at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
About the organization, he has once said: “My parents were—and remain—my heroes and role models, so joining the Reeve Foundation board was a natural fit, considering much of my time with my parents was defined by my dad’s life with a spinal cord injury with my mom as his primary caregiver. My involvement was never something I really thought about; it was just something that existed from the time I was a young child, and progressed organically.”
