Five things we learned about Ryan Reynolds

Hollywood movie star Ryan Reynolds caught up with Ben and Kate about his latest film Deadpool and being a dad - and here's the five most interesting things we learned about him!

  • Ryan's latest film Deadpool is a passionate project of his - he worked for 11 years to get the movie made!

  • The actor identifies with his character, describing him as his "alter ego" - but says he's "not nearly as homicidal." Good to know!

  • He took his Deadpool suit home, much to the bemusement of his "concerned" wife, actress Blake Lively. It's now displayed in their home, "scaring the dogs".

  • Ryan just loves being a dad to his 18-month-old daughter. "It's the most common thing in the world but the most profound," he says of parenting. "It's super fun, I just love it."

  • And he may have named his daughter James (after his late dad) but he doesn't think it's that bad on the spectrum of celebrity baby names. "I didn't call her Summersquash Meadowlark," he reasons.
