Deadpool 2 Star Blasts Ryan Reynolds on Podcast

Deadpool 2 actor TJ Miller has shared his feelings on co-star Ryan Reynolds, and they’re not altogether positive.

Appearing on a podcast clipped by Twitter account President Of Physical Media, Miller said Reynolds had changed after the success of Deadpool and Deadpool 2.

“And then so Deadpool 2 he was a different person. That’s just a different guy. A guy that’s become that famous, in a movie that is that funny, it changes people. And I don’t think it really changed me.”

It’s difficult to prove or disapprove Miller’s accusation here, given it’s based on his own subjective experience, but another part of his statement is undeniably incorrect: the suggestion Reynolds wasn’t a big star prior to the Deadpool movies.

“You first had Ryan Reynolds who, everybody knew who he was but he had never…he had a lot of movies that were failures, or just didn’t do that well, and so Deadpool was a real longshot for him.”

This is the same Ryan Reynolds who headlined a major superhero film in Warner Bros.’ 2011 Green Lantern, acted alongside Hugh Jackman in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and also featured in Smokin’ Aces, Blade Trinity and The Amityville Horror.
