If there’s one thing Ryan Reynolds does better than being a superhero, it’s being an absolute menace on social media. Whether he’s roasting his wife, Blake Lively, or his best frenemy, Hugh Jackman, Reynolds has built an empire of sarcasm and self-deprecating humor.
But recently, his playful jealousy took center stage when he reacted to Lively’s on-screen romance with Justin Baldoni in the adaptation of It Ends With Us. Cue the dramatic music, because the internet is having a field day dissecting whether Reynolds is just being himself or if there’s a touch of real jealousy behind those perfectly timed jokes.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman hijacked an interview
Ryan Reynolds’ jealousy antics hit new levels of absurdity when he teamed up with Hugh Jackman for Junket Crashers, a parody interview where the duo interrupted and interviewed other actors. Their prime target?
Poor Brandon Skelnar, who was innocently promoting It Ends With Us. Instead of a serious discussion, Skelnar was bombarded with ridiculous questions, most of which had nothing to do with his role. Reynolds went on to ask him about a suggestive image of Lively and Skelnar. In the interview, he asked,
Anyway, I saw this photo. It was pretty suggestive. I got it right here. I’m gonna get right to it. How do you explain… That?
He revealed that all along, he was just joking as he pointed to an image of Skelnar. He continued,
Is that genetics? You have some sort of, like, low-angle squat routine to pop that region in that way? I mean, what’s going on here, man? Are you smuggling pumpkins?
While this was all in good fun, it showed how far Reynolds is willing to go for a joke. And let’s be honest, if there were ever a Junket Crashers sequel, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Reynolds pop up in an interview with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, grilling them about their It Ends With Us kissing scenes.
Ryan Reynolds’ ultimate jealous husband persona
If there’s one thing Ryan Reynolds has mastered, it’s portraying himself as an over-the-top, protective husband when it comes to Blake Lively’s on-screen romances. Whether it’s through passive-aggressive Instagram posts, hilarious tweet threads, or well-timed interview quips, he consistently leans into the persona of a man who just can’t handle watching his wife kiss other actors.
He’s made jokes about being emotionally devastated whenever Lively has a romantic scene and has even posted photos of her co-stars with captions that scream fake outrage. The internet eats it up every time, fueling the idea that maybe, just maybe, there’s a sliver of truth behind the act.
Of course, knowing Reynolds, it’s all just part of his brand of humor. If anything, Justin Baldoni should probably expect a fake cease and desist letter or a deepfake video of Reynolds dramatically sobbing in the rain. Well, this whole controversy is definitely affecting him at some level.
Whether you believe Reynolds is actually jealous or just in it for the memes, one thing’s for sure, Hollywood needs him to keep this act going. Otherwise, what are we supposed to do with our popcorn?
