A `fairy-tale' romance
Ryan Reynolds made the first move on Blake Lively.
The Deadpool actor met his wife when they were working together on 2011's Green Lantern, and he couldn't help but poke fun at the movie while speaking about their whirlwind romance, which led to them tying the knot the following year.
Appearing on the podcast Smartless with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett, he joked: “I met Blake on the darkest crease on the anus of the universe called Green Lantern.
“We were friends and buddies and about a year and half later, we went on a double date but we were dating separate people.
“We hung out and we always kind of kept in touch sort of casually and next thing you know, she was going to Boston. I was going to Boston and I said, `I'll ride with you.'
“We got on the train and we rode together. I was just begging her to sleep with me.”
The Vancouver-born actor — who has daughters James, 6, Inez, 4, and Betty, 21 months, with Lively — described their romance as something “out of a fairy tale.”
He added: “A week later I was like, `We should buy a house together.' And we did.”
And Reynolds also explained why he and his wife don't take on big film projects at the same time, since he said their kids and family life remain their priority.
“I'm present with my kids and my wife and my marriage is incredibly important to me and that friendship is important to me,” he said.
“Blake and I don't do movies at the same time. When Blake is ready to do some stuff, I'll step down and then we go back and forth.
“She'll do a film and I'll be with her on location hanging out with the kids.”
