Ryan Reynolds was promoting his latest Netflix movie, The Adam Project, where he had to answer an interesting question from a young fan. During a recent Q&A session about the movie, a boy asked the Red Notice actor if it was “real” when he kissed costar Zoe Saldana in the new movie, as seen in a video clip posted on one of Netflix’s Instagram accounts.
After jokingly saying “I didn’t mean it?” while questioning if the child was his wife Blake Lively in disguise, Reynolds revealed that talking about this subject with his own kids is no easy task. “This is the thing, I don’t know how to explain this to my own kids. If they watch this, and they’re like, ‘Daddy! What are you doing?’ Like, it’s exactly the tactic I’d use on them not anger, but just disappointment.”
Reynolds and Lively exchanged vows in 2012, about two years after meeting on the set of Green Lantern. The couple shares three children, James, Inez, and Betty. In November 2021, Reynolds revealed his plan to take time off from acting “to create a little bit more space for my family” to The Hollywood Reporter, adding, “You know, you don’t really get that time back.” The following month, the Deadpool star told LinkedIn News Senior Editor at Large Jessi Hempel that what’s most important to him is spending time with his children.

The actor said, “Well, I’ve done a lot of [acting],” Reynolds said in the video interview, later adding, “The biggest thing for me, and I know you have kids as well, is that I don’t want to miss this time with my kids.” “When I’m shooting a film, I’m oftentimes in Europe, I’m away, there are incredibly long hours, it’s a ton of constant, kind of requirement to be there the whole time not just because I’m performing but I’m also generally producing and writing on my movies as well,” he said.
