Apparently, Ryan Reynolds never planned to be an actor. However, he did always have his sights set on being an entertainer. “When I turned 18, I got back into improv comedy, and that’s why I moved to Los Angeles, to see if I could join a group called The Groundlings, which is a really famous improv comedy group in Los Angeles,” said Reynolds during a visit to Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School (via Parade). “So that was my main goal for going down here. It wasn’t to work in films; it was to be on stage,” he added.
Even though Reynolds never got to officially get into improv, his interest has surely served him well. While Deadpool has always famously been hailed as the “merc with a mouth,” Reynolds actually improvised many of the film’s R-rated jokes. And much of what Reynolds didn’t improvise, he wrote himself alongside the film’s screenwriters. Reynolds took a similar approach in 2021’s “Red Notice,” an art heist action film. “I improvised a lot of the jokes,” revealed Reynolds to Elle, “I mean, that’s kind of my job. I think it’s a little bit of a stretch to say it’s improv because I write a lot of the jokes. I write eight or nine options for each joke and I leave it to the editor and the director just to decide which ones they feel are suitable for the movie.”
