Ryan Reynolds Paid The Price for Ignoring Acting Advice for Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds, our favorite Deadpool, has opened up about a painful lesson he learned while filming Deadpool & Wolverine! Apparently, he broke a major acting rule - and boy, did he regret it!
What's The "Golden Rule"?
- Everyone's got tips for playing superheroes, but here's one that even Reynolds, with all his Deadpool movie experience, didn't follow: when you're in a role with tons of prosthetic makeup, it's good to do the makeup every single day for a bit before shooting!
- He even called it "the golden rule" for good reason. The make-up can get uncomfortable, messy, and takes a long time. That's what made his mistake kinda funny!
- The other part is, he was also learning how to play Wolverine with all the prosthetic makeup! Now, with that being added to his usual Deadpool makeup made it really intense.
The "Behind The Scenes" Secret
If you are a fan of Reynolds' character, Deadpool - his hilarious persona - you'll get a kick out of this! He's actually super transparent about the challenges. The photos he shared actually gave us some glimpses into how he was prepping, with those massive prosthetic suits - It's super impressive! And it really brings us behind-the-scenes.
With everything that went down with Henry Cavill's Wolverine character (like that whole cigar smoking thing for hours a day) - Reynolds totally shares the struggle that goes with playing these superheroes. The truth is, it's pretty tough, so props to these actors for going through it!
A Lesson From The "Merc With a Mouth"
The moral of the story: you have to be a "Merc With a Mouth" with a serious side of prep. In the end, you need a lot more than just wit to get things done! That makes this even more hilarious considering we love his Deadpool character and are also anxiously waiting for Deadpool 3! Even after he's been playing the role of Ryan Reynolds Deadpool for ages! And since he was officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, too - that just made fans go crazy!
