Amy Schumer brought her 10-month-old son to see his grandfather despite practicing social distancing.
On Tuesday, the comedienne shared a heartwarming video on her Instagram. The video shows her standing outside her father's window at his nursing home wearing a blue sweat outfit, black coat, and white sneakers while carrying her son, Gene, in one hand, and a banner that says, "Hi Grandpa! We love you!" on her other hand. She waited for her dad to take a peek through his window and waved back.
She captioned the post saying "visiting dad", where she got 3.6 million views.
Schumer Visits Her Dad Often
Schumer's father is residing in an assisted living facility in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when Schumer was 12 years old. It happened at the wrong time because that was when her father's business went under and had filed for bankruptcy. Then at the same time, her parents split up.
Schumer frequently visits her dad, sometimes bringing with her some famous friends. She has brought Goldie Hawn and Colin Quinn to make her dad happy. Quinn played Schumer's father in the movie "Trainwreck", whose story was partly inspired by the actress's own life.
How Schumer Feels About Dad's Multiple Sclerosis
Schumer told Barbara Walters in an interview in 2015 that there were days when her dad is really good, and they go around joking about life; however, there were some days that she feels pain and in disbelief when she visits her dad.
The 38-year-old comedienne added that she is confused as to how multiple sclerosis works because her dad was in physical pain. Thus, she took the initiative to take care of the whole family and make it a point to make them laugh all the time.
How Schumer Helps the People During the Coronavirus Quarantine Period
Schumer wants to bring happiness to the public right now, especially due to the coronavirus pandemic. For the past few weeks, she has been sharing hilarious and informative videos on her social media account.
Apart from recommending movies and television shows for the netizens to watch during the lockdown, she would document New Yorkers clapping for the first responders every day at seven in the evening. She even shared a video of her cutting her husband Chris Fischer's hair.
On Saturday night, Schumer also commended all the pregnant and breastfeeding ladies out there who are all practicing self-isolation. She posted a flashback photo of her in black-and-white while breastfeeding her newborn son, Gene, in the hospital and added a caption saying that she is sharing her "big nip love" to all the pregnant ladies during the difficult time. She said that they are thinking of them too. Being topless in the photo, Schumer added two flames to cover up her private parts.
Last week, Schumer shared a video on her Instagram, where she practices social distancing as she and Tony award-winning friend Jerry Zaks showed the public how to keep a distance of "six feet" from other people. She added a caption, saying that she is social distancing with Jerry Zaks and then adding a hashtag, #cherrypie.
On the video that garnered over 960 thousand views, Schumer told her pal to step forward, and then step back twice, and finally, she said, "now THAT is social distance".
Schumer and Fischer got married in Malibu, California, in 2018, and then welcomed their son, Gene, in May 2019.
