Chaos, Cameos, and Cuddles
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Hollywood's beloved couple, are no strangers to the spotlight. But it's their off-screen roles as parents to James, Inez, Betty, and Olin that have fans swooning and laughing in equal measure.
In a candid chat on the 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast, Reynolds spills the beans on their chaotic yet charming family life, proving that when it comes to parenting, they're just like us—only funnier!
"Nothing's going to be tidy ever again," Reynolds declares, echoing a sentiment familiar to parents worldwide. But it's their ability to see the beauty in bedlam that sets them apart. Lively's sage advice? "They're all under our roof right now...We have them all." A reminder of the fleeting nature of childhood that tugs at the heartstrings.
Forget about peaceful slumbers; in the Reynolds-Lively household, bedtime is more like a scene from a superhero showdown, with kids clamoring for a spot in their parents' bed. Reynolds, ever the doting dad, takes it in stride, dreaming of the day he can "spread out and fall asleep normally again."
"It does get to you," Reynolds admitted of his parental duties. "And it’s OK to be like, ‘F—k, I am dying.’ Because that’s gonna happen every other day."
He revealed that nighttime is a struggle because some of their kids "can’t even go to sleep unless they’re in our bed."
Family Cameos: A Blockbuster Affair
In a move that screams #FamilyGoals, Reynolds arranged for Lively and their kids to make cameo appearances in 'Deadpool and Wolverine.' From "Lady Deadpool" to "Babypool," the Reynolds clan stole the show, with Betty earning a special credit as a "Hugh Jackman Wrangler."
Reynolds spoke about the bond between his 'Deadpool' costar, and his youngest daughter at the movie’s July 22 premiere in New York City.
"They’re all kind of in love with Uncle Hughy over here, so that worked out pretty well," Reynolds told 'Extra' ahead of the Lincoln Center screening. "[Jackman] got attacked by Betty backstage, who thinks she has claws, so she goes at him. I have to actually give her a little tiny time-out."
Talk about taking "bring your kids to work day" to a whole new level!
At the film's premiere, Reynolds shared a hilarious anecdote about his youngest daughter's fascination with "Uncle Hughy" (Hugh Jackman). Betty's playful attack on Jackman, complete with imaginary claws, is just another day in the life of this adorably eccentric family.
