Ryan Reynolds brought his signature humor to a recent press junket for the romantic film It Ends With Us, playfully interrogating Blake Lively’s co-star Brandon Sklenar. The impromptu interview, which was shared on Reynolds’ Instagram on August 6, featured the 47-year-old actor teaming up with his mother Tammy Reynolds and his “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-star Hugh Jackman for a comedic skit.
As Reynolds took a seat to chat with Sklenar, the 34-year-old actor gamely played along with the skit. “I don’t remember seeing this on the schedule,” Sklenar quipped, setting the stage for the playful banter that was to follow. Reynolds, known for his quick wit, kicked off the conversation by displaying a picture of his wife Blake Lively and Sklenar. The image, featuring the two actors posing in stylish jeans, prompted Reynolds to jokingly comment on Sklenar’s physique.
“How do you explain THAT?” Reynolds asked, referring to Sklenar’s noticeable physique in the photo. “Is it genetics? Do you have some sort of low-angle squat routine to pop that region in that way? I mean, what’s going on here, man? Jesus Christ, my heart is beating like crazy right now.” The playful question left Sklenar momentarily speechless, adding to the comedic tone of the interview.
Tammy Reynolds, who joined the skit, added her own humorous touch. Referring to Sklenar as “the man trying to replace” her “sweet little gummy bear Ryan,” she said, “Brandon, I saw the film. And may I say, you are incredible in this movie. On a scale from one to ‘I stop taking my blood thinner medication,’ because if I can’t have you, I don’t want me.” Her comment elicited laughter and further added to the light-hearted atmosphere.
Hugh Jackman, known for his own playful personality, also joined in on the fun. Defending Reynolds, he joked, “It’s not every day a guy gets to interview the love interest of his best friend’s wife… And the guy trying to replace Ryan as a husband and me as his best mate.” Jackman’s comments highlighted the camaraderie between the actors and their shared sense of humor.
The banter continued with Jackman teasing Sklenar, who appeared ready to wrap up the playful interrogation. “What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy’s wife?” Jackman asked, keeping the mood light and humorous.
The playful exchange between Reynolds, Sklenar, Jackman, and Tammy Reynolds not only entertained fans but also showcased the strong camaraderie and mutual respect among the actors. This amusing interaction added an extra layer of fun to the promotion of It Ends With Us, highlighting the personal connections and humor that characterize their relationships.
