Let’s cut to the chase—Hollywood isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Sure, it’s the land of luxury and limelight, but behind the flashing cameras and designer clothes, it’s not always the picture-perfect scene we imagine. Take Ryan Reynolds for example. The guy who makes cracking jokes look effortless and stars in rom-coms we can’t help but binge.
But even he has his moments where, let’s just say, reality hits harder than a poorly timed punchline.
For example, the infamous scene from The Change-Up (2011), where things got a little more steamy than he expected. And no, we’re not talking about the plot…
So, Blake Lively’s handsome husband found himself in a situation where his co-star, Olivia Wilde, stripped down for an intimate scene. At one point, she even placed his hands on her chest—and what did Mr. Reynolds do? Forgot his lines… and everything else in his acting arsenal. Awkward? Absolutely.
Ryan Reynolds ‘forgot his lines’ after co-star stripped off during the steamy scene
You’d think that after years in the biz, A-listers like Ryan Reynolds would have intimate scenes down to an art. But when filming The Change-Up, the Canadian-American actor, 48, faced a challenge he wasn’t prepared for: forgetting every line—ever. The reason? Olivia Wilde’s adorable “smiley face” pasties.
Yes, while trying to film an intimate scene with Wilde, the actor was thrown off by not just her beauty but by the unexpected sight of those smiley faces. Reynolds, who plays Mitch in the comedy, shared that the moment left him so flustered, he completely blanked out.
He confessed (via Tyle):
I forget every line in the scene — not just from this movie but from every other movie I’ve done.
In his own words, he was caught in the kind of moment where his palms were sweating and his mind was on vacation. “I don’t know what’s happening,” he added, clearly feeling the awkwardness of the situation. But here’s where things get even more interesting.
At one point during the scene, Wilde placed his hands on her chest, turning an already delicate situation into full-on chaos. “I take my hands away and I look down at my hands and there’s two frickin’ smiley faces on them,” Reynolds recalled. Not only had he forgotten his lines, but in a panic, he put his hands back in the same spot—accidentally of course.
The scene is over now. And I reflexively, like an idiot, just put my hands right back on her breasts.
And in true Reynolds fashion, he tried to play it cool, but…well, it didn’t exactly go as planned. “And I think I’m doing it to cover them up, but I’m realising now that it’s a very fine line between chivalry and, you know, workplace s*xual assault,” he said. Yeah, we can all agree—this was not the scene anyone expected. And as for Wilde? She handled it like the pro she is, which made the whole thing somehow even more ridiculous.
The Candace Owens take: Is Ryan Reynolds hiding something more?
If this whole Ryan Reynolds thing wasn’t juicy enough, let’s toss in a viral theory that has the internet absolutely buzzing. Candace Owens recently added her two cents on the matter, fueling speculation about Reynolds’ emotional state and private life. Her take? There might be more going on with Reynolds than meets the eye, and she doesn’t shy away from hinting at some deeper emotional layers—or even a potential hidden truth about his s*xuality.
According to Owens, Reynolds has been battling his emotions for years, and the cracks in his picture-perfect persona might be more noticeable than we think. From alleged text messages with phrases that don’t sound “straight” to his playful kiss with Andrew Garfield, Owens believes there’s a lot we don’t know about the Deadpool star (via YouTube).
A viral TikTok video takes this theory a step further, suggesting that Reynolds could be hiding his true s*xual identity. Bold? Absolutely. But is it possible? Well, like all viral conspiracies, it’s intriguing and controversial.
