His career started starring in the Canadian teen soap opera “Hillside” and had minor roles before landing the lead in “Two Guys and a Girl” from 1998 to 2001. Then, Reynolds starred in a range of movies, including comedies like “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder,” “Waiting…,” and “The Proposal.” He also performed in dramatic roles in “Buried,” “Woman in Gold” and “Life.” He’s starred in action movies like “Green Lantern,” “Blade: Trinity,” “6 Underground,” and “Free Guy.”

Reynolds has also done voice work in animated movies like “The Croods” film series, “Turbo,” and “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.” His most significant commercial success came with the 20th Century Fox X-Men films “Deadpool” and “Deadpool,” in which he played the title character. The latter set numerous records at the time of its release for an R-rated comedy, and his performance earned him nominations at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.

In 2010, he was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017. As a businessman, Reynolds holds an ownership stake in Mint Mobile and is a co-owner of Welsh football club Wrexham AFC; the latter was documented in the TV series “Welcome to Wrexham.” In 2020, Reynolds sold his ownership stake in Aviation Gin to Diageo for $610 million. He also sits on the board of the Match Group. As of 2023, his net worth is estimated to be $350 million. Reynold was born in 1976 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the youngest of four sons.

He’s been involved in acting since he was 13 years old. He graduated from Kitsilano Secondary School in 1994, which he attended with actor Joshua Jackson. Reynolds played minor roles in numerous TV shows but became discouraged and quit acting when he was 19 to enroll at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. A few months later, he ran into fellow actor Chris William Martin, who convinced him to try again and move with him to Los Angeles.

What religion is Ryan Reynolds?

Ryan Reynolds has Irish and Scottish ancestry and grew up in an Irish Catholic household. However, the actor has been quoted as saying, “Religion poisons everything good in this world,” so it’s unclear if he’s still a practicing Catholic. Reynolds and Blake Lively met on the set of “Green Lantern” and started dating in October 2011. The couple married in September 2012 and share four children.
