Ryan Reynolds Says Blake Lively Gave Him One Important Task While Promoting Films (Exclusive)

Ryan Reynolds is a new dad (again!) so when he left to promote his new action flick, 6 Underground, and his film, Free Guy, in Brazil, his wife, Blake Lively, gave him one important task.

"My only job that Blake said as I was leaving was just come home in one piece," Reynolds tells ET's Rachel Smith while doing press for the films in Brazil. "So that was my only job."

The 43-year-old actor, who is dad to daughters James, 4, Inez, 3, and a 4-month-old baby girl, opens up about staying safe while filming some stressful scenes in his new Michael Bay action movie, 6 Underground.

"Anytime you do a car chase in Florence, [Italy], at those speeds where these tiny streets where you have an inch on either side and you're going a 100 miles an hour in this Alfa Romeo -- that's lime green Alfa Romeo -- you know, your heart's in your throat for a lot of stuff," he says.

Reynolds was able to unwind from the stressful days with some of his signature Aviation Gin. That doesn't mean that Lively let him incorporate it into their Thanksgiving dinner, despite him calling it the "new gravy."

"No, I do think that's one place you don’t want to put your Aviation Gin is on the turkey, no," he admitted, before adding, "It's amazing with cereal, so I've been told."

6 Underground will be in select theaters in the U.S. on Wednesday, Dec. 11 and released on Netflix on Friday, Dec. 13.
