I read the ‘Deadpool’ series back in the ’90s. I’m not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I’ll check out ‘Archie’ when I’m in the grocery line, but that’s about it. – Ryan Reynolds
I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings. – Ryan Reynolds
Any great director is also someone who is incredibly intelligent about whom they hire around them. – Ryan Reynolds
I don’t personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction. – Ryan Reynolds
I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they’re nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those. – Ryan Reynolds
By the time I came to L.A. I’d already cried on movies of the week with two of the women from ‘Knots Landing’. – Ryan Reynolds
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they’re not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow. – Ryan Reynolds
I think there’s escapist moviemaking, and we want to be captivated and taken away. If it’s done right, you can craft an incredible film. There have been superhero films that I think are brilliant pieces of art. – Ryan Reynolds
I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I’m not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now. – Ryan Reynolds
Fragrance is a very personal gift, and I think that’s why it makes a great Christmas gift. There’s a very distinct signature to it, so if you give it as a gift, I like to think that it’s from a person that thinks very highly of you. – Ryan Reynolds
It was comical because you’re at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns. – Ryan Reynolds
I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line. – Ryan Reynolds
Four months after we finished shooting, I’d been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat – actually in London – and he’s sitting there and goes, ‘Wow, I just can’t believe how ripped you are.’ – Ryan Reynolds
When I meet thousands of fans of the comic – when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath (‘In Brightest Day, in blackest night…’) – I know how important this is to people. – Ryan Reynolds
I played rugby for years, and I had a rugby jacket that I lost when I was 14. Somehow, my brother found it in storage 15 years later, and he gave it back to me for my 30th birthday. That was amazing and probably one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. – Ryan Reynolds
I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff. – Ryan Reynolds
I’m not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now. – Ryan Reynolds
Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time – and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky. – Ryan Reynolds
He has such a clear vision of exactly what he wanted out of each character, out of each set, out of each wardrobe change, out of each emotional beat, and action. – Ryan Reynolds
I think every relationship is going to go through a few rough patches. Those are what make it stronger, I think. – Ryan Reynolds
Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties. – Ryan Reynolds
I don’t think you can help but personalize a role. You almost play to none of the preconceived notions of it. It’s more or less a personal experience and journey. – Ryan Reynolds
I’m not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place. – Ryan Reynolds
My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies. – Ryan Reynolds
