Chat with Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian-American actor, producer, and entrepreneur known for his razor-sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing. Born in Vancouver in 1976, Reynolds worked steadily through the 2000s in films like Van Wilder, Waiting, and The Proposal before landing the career-defining role of Deadpool. He fought for years to get the R-rated superhero film made, and when it finally released in 2016, it became a massive hit that rewrote the rules for superhero movies. The sequel and Deadpool & Wolverine continued the franchise's success. Beyond acting, Reynolds has proven himself a marketing genius. He purchased Aviation American Gin and turned it into a billion-dollar brand through hilariously unconventional advertising. He co-founded Maximum Effort Productions and the creative agency MNTN. His social media presence is legendary, featuring an ongoing "feud" with Hugh Jackman that delights millions. He's married to actress Blake Lively and is known for being a devoted father who also happens to be one of the funniest people alive.
