Ryan Reynolds opens up about taking a break

Ryan Reynolds has opened up about why he decided to take a sabbatical from filmmaking after he wrapped up the Apple TV+ film, Spirited.

“I’m just trying to create a little bit more space for my family and time with them,” Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. “You know, you don’t really get that time back.”

On October 16, Reynolds stunned fans and people from the film fraternity when he announced that he would be taking a break from moviemaking now that his Will Ferrell project had wrapped up shooting. “Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago,” he wrote on Instagram. “Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true.”

“Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making,” he added.
