Ryan Reynolds has been eagerly promoting the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, a highly-anticipated movie that holds a special place in his heart. The Marvel actor, along with his bestie and co-star Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy, have been working tirelessly to bring this action comedy to the big screen.
Behind the scenes, Ryan Reynolds has received unwavering support from his wife, Blake Lively, who has shared heartwarming tributes to celebrate the film. It was revealed that Blake Lively was the mystery woman behind Lady Deadpool in the movie. But the surprises did not stop there.
While Blake and Ryan have always been private about their family life, they decided to make an exception for Deadpool & Wolverine. The couple, who have been married since 2012, have three daughters – James, Inez, and Betty – and recently welcomed a baby boy named Olin in late 2022. All four children made appearances in the movie, either on screen or behind the scenes.
In the credits, James is credited as playing a Screaming Mutant, Inez as Kidpool, Olin as Babypool, and Betty as the “Hugh Jackman Wrangler.” Ryan Reynolds shared a sweet anecdote about his daughter Betty’s fondness for Hugh Jackman, jokingly referring to her unblinking love for the actor as “expressed through violence.”
While the Reynolds-Lively kids now have fond memories of their time on set, Ryan Reynolds revealed a funny yet slightly traumatic incident involving a Deadpool suit molded after his body. During an appearance on the Today Show, Ryan discussed his children’s vivid imaginations and the sometimes spooky consequences of having a Deadpool suit in the basement.
Despite the occasional scare, it is clear that the Reynolds-Lively family had a memorable experience working on Deadpool & Wolverine. This creative collaboration not only showcased the talents of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively but also gave their children a unique opportunity to be a part of the magic of filmmaking. As fans eagerly await the release of the movie, it is heartwarming to see a family come together to bring a special project to life.
