8 local Vancouver celebrities to check out on Instagram

Sep 8 2017, 2:34 pm

From A-to-Z-list Vancouver is home to a full spectrum of stars.

And no matter how big a name they are, there’s no denying that we all get a little excited when we hear that they’ve been spotted around town.

But the truth is that whether they’re A-list actors or environmental activists; we love our local celebs because they love Vancouver, or at least that’s what we tell ourselves while we creep on their Instagram accounts!

Ryan’s feed is a mashup of everything; Deadpool pics, shots of him and his wife, family photos, memes, you name it it’s there. With over 14 million followers, he maintains a hilarious feed.

How’s this for meta? The women and men of Fox Marketing. Their work on #Deadpool changed the game.
