Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Things you probably didn't know about Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds has been acting for decades and even though he's been in the public eye for quite some time, there's a lot you may not know about the "Deadpool" actor.
Here are some interesting things you never knew about Ryan Reynolds.
He said filming "Green Lantern" helped him get over his fear of flying.
Reynolds' fear of flying stemmed from a bad skydiving experience when he was a teenager, where his first pack didn't deploy and sent him free-falling through the air.
Years later, he spoke about getting over that fear by filming 2011's "Green Lantern."
"I have problems with airplanes," Reynolds told Ann Curry on "The Today Show" in 2011. "On the film, we were up on high-wires flying all the time, all over the place ... It was really interesting and really terrifying at first."
Ultimately, Reynolds said the thought of his younger nephews and nieces helped him get past his fear.
"I don't mean to make it sound too altruistic, but my nieces and nephews were just so excited about this movie and I kept thinking about them getting to come see this film," said Reynolds. "You kind of get over all that crap... After the 17th, 18th time of doing it, you say, 'Hey, this is actually a little bit of fun.'"
He met his wife Blake Lively on the set of "Green Lantern."
Despite Reynolds' public displeasure at the film "Green Lantern," it turns out starring in the superhero movie wasn't all bad.
After all, he met his future wife, Blake Lively, while filming it. Lively played Reynolds' love interest, Carol Ferris. According to Lively, the two started dating in 2011 a year after working together and becoming good friends. They got married in 2012 and now have three children.
Per Vulture, Reynolds once failed his high-school drama course. His pal Hugh Jackman poked fun at him for it in 2016 when Reynolds received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Alanis Morissette wrote a song about him.
Before his marriage to Blake Lively, Reynolds dated singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. The two eventually got engaged, but in 2007, the couple called it quits.
In 2008, Alanis revealed her song "Torch" was written post-breakup about Reynolds. "It was cathartic," Morisette told Access Online. "Someone said very wisely to me the other day that catharsis doesn't mean healing necessarily and I thought, 'Damn! It's true.'"
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
